Scientists are waiting longer than ever to receive a Nobel https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-023-03086-3 Originally, Nobel was supposed to be awarded for research done in the previous year. Reason unclear, could be that research got less disruptive, or that there is too much award-worthy research @academicchatter

@ingorohlfing @academicchatter yeah, that definitely what I'm doing, waiting

It seems like Mastodon is losing its mindshare to #Bluesky among many academics.

I can't help but think this has to do with the self-imposed limitations of Mastdon — lack of quotes, ordered timeline, etc. Makes it less interesting to use, for no real advantage.

Sad, because the underlying decentralization is much more robust.

@tiago
My impression is that at least in my relevant bubble the number of people just didn't reach a tipping point, i.e. the network effect just did not appear. It didn't help that coordination failed and people ended up on too many different servers.

@Ailuridae @tiago @academicchatter As I understand, the largest radius posts is the federated timeline. Considering that many economists went to econtwitter.net, sociologist and political scientists split between sciences.social and fedi.science (many of all three started out at mastodon.social or mastodon.world and stayed there), it is easy to miss posts and therefore unknown users on other instances. If everyone had used informative hashtags, this would be less of a problem, but people dont

@Ailuridae @tiago @academicchatter mastodon is built to make difficult to stalk people which makes it also difficult to find people. i am definitely a newbie, am i wrong with this?

@philippsteinkrueger @Ailuridae @tiago @academicchatter Maybe that's the typical case of trying to get an answer by posting a falsehood. My impression was that the reason for the disengagement was that people didnt find each other across servers. However, you're pointing to the friction in simple message exchange (non-viralness) caused by the absence of algorithms. this is probably boring for people, which leads to less incentive to actively post stuff. two separate mechanisms. Wrong?

Cross-national analyses require additional controls to account for the non-independence of nations

Super interesting debate in the European Sociological Review on the consequences of recording practices in data on anti-refugee violence between Nicole Schwitter & Ulf Liebe, and Arun Frey:

Not Cologne but the data collection (might have) changed everything: a cautionary tale on ignoring changes in data recording in sociological research

For once a little self promotion. The paper together with @jascha_draeger and @nrmllr on flexible nonlinear effects modelling with the application of wealth has finally been published https://sociologicalscience.com/articles-v10-19-534/ #sociology @sociology #wealth #GeneralizedAdditiveModels

@philipncohen
We were aware of the problem from the very beginning of our research project (the proper way to transform wealth is long discussion), however Jascha came up with this solution strategy along the way.

Everybody understands what's going on with the Sociological Research Association, why we need it, and what it does
