When publishing becomes the sole focus of PhD programmes academia suffers (blogs.lse.ac.uk)

Reporting on their findings from qualitative research project focused PhD students across China, Hugo Horta and Huan Li explore how a culture of publication has become central to doctoral study and discuss how this can negatively impact wider aspects of academic life.

How do I subscribe to magazines on other instances with my kbin.social account?

Looks like and keep being mentioned together, which to me suggests we might have averted "mastodonization" of the — i.e. a situation where the whole network gets identified with a single piece of software. 🎉

This is the way. :blobcatcool:

Ishmael,

@rysiek Don't forget Bookwyrm, that's a great alternative for Goodreads.

keet, to fediverse

Forgive my ignorance, but for those of us new to the "Fediverse", how do people use different types of instances? Is it common for people to have different accounts for different types of ActivityPub instances? Even though Mastodon can federate with, say, kbin or Pixelfed, would I need to set up new accounts on the latter services to use them?

Ishmael,

@keet While you can follow Pixelfed and Bookwyrm accounts from say Mastodon and get the updates on your Mastodon home page, you cannot use the full functionality of Pixelfed and Bookwyrm from your Mastodon account. So it makes sense to create separate accounts for each of these services. I personally have an account on Mastodon, Bookwyrm, Pixelfed and now kbin.

  • Ishmael,

    @victor That's sad. Any historical explanation for this?

    Ishmael,

    I hate it when someone talks to me while playing. I either completely ignore them or if it's someone I can't ignore, I prefer to resign and terminate my game. If it is other distractions that don't require my active participation such as music, TV or other people talking amongst themselves, it doesn't really affect my concentration.

    What is your favorite Mastodon client?

    Hey everyone, super excited to be exploring the fediverse both here on kbin and elsewhere. Looking for a Mastodon client primarily for iOS, great to see the main app is open-source, but there seems to be quite a few options out there. Feel free to share non-iOS clients for others' benefit as well....

    Ishmael,

    I have been using Tusky on Android for the last four years and I love it.
