As a reviewer has said, 'a sad story, told very hilariously, very tenderly and very craftily', indeed.The God of Small Things (1997) by Arundhati Roy #ArundhatiRoy #amreading

I wonder whether there is any option in the academic publishing world that is free of article processing charges (APCs) or pay-to-read subscription models. The traditional model exploits free labour of reviewers and charge money from either the writer or the reader.Why don't scientists simply review each others' work and make scientific literature available without a cost to the writers and the readers? #AcademicChatter #AcademicMastodon #OpenScience

@ml @tiago @academicchatter I think, those who are asking for a quoting feature are not happy that the original tooter is not notified about being quoted/linked in this way.

@tiago @academicchatter On "Tusky" app, when I click on that quote/link toot of @ml, it opens the original toot just like how Twitter app would open a quote tweet; I don't notice that the original toot is coming from an entirely different server. It's a client side feature, and we have plenty of client apps to choose from. The default Mastodon web interface is just one option.That's the beauty of this whole thing, in my view.Anyway, I spent too much time on this point. Have a nice day 😊
