Honored to have been the moderator of an awesome discussion titled "X-pocalypse: The Fragility of Digital Public Spaces" yesterday (April 10, 2025) with @amir.blue, Chris Moody and John Ploumitsakos as part of #CWABoulder at @colorado.edu. Watch the replay: vimeo.com/event/4978630

Really interesting article to check out. “There isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution or an obvious answer. It’s a bit like deciding how a newsroom decides to position itself against fake news, or to what extent they decide to give a platform to extremist views – it’s complicated.”

"There is a changing environment with a more diverse pool of platforms for people to discuss research on social media"

"However, we still see a number of discussions about research happening on X. So from purely a data perspective, there would be no reason for us to stop indexing X."

Like @kakape.bsky.social, I also don't agree with everything in this article but second that it is worth reading for the reason Kai states well below - choosing deliberately whatever the path. 👏 🤔

"A perfunctory online presence can do more reputational harm than good."
Don’t agree with everything here, but definitely worth reading and thinking about…

imho there are many reasonable paths for universities etc to take in today’s complicated information ecosystem. But whatever the path, it should be chosen *deliberately*

"Something amazing happens when you listen and pay fierce attention. The other person becomes more interesting. It’s not that they seem more interesting, but they actually are more interesting." 👏 👏 👏

As they say, there is always more to the story... "She feels that Twitter and other social media fed into a larger problem in the industry. Editors want more work, faster, and can start to see clicks and engagement as the only measure of success." 👏 Shamira Ibrahim

Well hi there Blueskiers? :) I have been here for a while but dang, this is my first post. My job is so much on the organizational listening end (happy to talk with anyone about what that is) that I rarely post myself anymore on any platforms.
