Summary
https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.15582839
While Mastodon is valued for its ethical positioning, continued engagement hinges more on social and institutional dynamics than on technical features alone
Ethical concerns drive adoption
Peer presence matters more for staying than joining
Academic institutions could be game-changers by leading adoption instead of waiting for grassroots growth
Some academic projects (eg conference/paper calls) take explicit stances when they invite contributions from specific countries eg #Ukraine #Bosnia whilst excluding eg #Russia.
What rationales underpin such selective political positions & why are #Israel #Palestine less likely to be in/excluded?
Mastodon is the best way to keep up with what's happening.
