Academics can generally use any platform they like. Attempts by management to limit this will generally lead to a revolt.

However, academics on social media tend to be those most in need of attention. I can think of dozens who joined Mastodons last year, with many of the most vocal, saying how awful twitter was.

Most have quietly gone back to X, to get the attention they crave.
