Question for the wider fediverse; where did academic Twitter end up? My wife has pulled the plug on the network formerly known as Twitter and would like to reconnect with the academics she was engaging with on that platform but it appears they’ve been scattered to the four winds.
@canned_sans_italic Some of us ended up here, but the engagement is a lot different, I don't see as many people and there's less academic discussion. I heard that some went to Bluesky. Some stayed on twitter.
But it seems like the whole thing has been broken up and scattered to various platforms. Maybe it won't ever be the same again.
I remember hearing a story from Dungun about how a car that fell off a bridge could not be found until a shaman waded into the crocodile filled waters and appeased the local crocodile spirit.
Clickbait-y title/opening aside, this is a fascinating place that’s so much more than “it’s creepy/haunted”. People LIVE here. There’s a community inside with shops and barbers and all that.
