Good article about demise of #twitter / #X for #academia.
I'm happy to admit pre-Musk Twitter was broadly useful and engaging, but quality of the platform has suffered since.
Sad thing is that for now, the resulting #fragmentation will benefit no one.
Hopefully people disperse to various #ActivityPub connected services, such as #Mastodon or even #Threads. In the end we're a #community, and talking to each other should be facilated. #academicchatter @academicchatter
Jesus, Twitter was NEVER a good place for academia.
A short-form medium specifically limiting academics’ abilities to explain the world is a terrible platform to embrace for that kind of thing.
It was only useful and engaging for content that was so superficial and bland that it could fit into the character limit without decent discussion capability.
Yes, I have feelings about this.
Good riddance.
