Maybe we shouldn't see this growing community here at #mastodon (solely) as a direct result of #musk buying #twitter and more as a chance to get connections, exchange and social media back into the hands of all people and away from #coorporations

The danger of inaccuracies remaining in a peer-reviewed article is that the reader's guard may be down and their professional skepticism not be what it would be for a preprint ("it has been peer-reviewed, hasn't it? Does that not guarantee that it's correct?"). That makes inaccuracies in peer-reviewed articles more dangerous than those in preprints.
Citizen Science as the new paradigm for Science Communication. « Smells like team spirit: how citizen science can succeed ». https://cordis.europa.eu/article/id/442432-smells-like-team-spirit-how-citizen-science-can-succeed However, the biggest difficulty is that popularised science is not science and never will be. But if one remains aware of this, popularised science is preferable to no-science or forged science.

Open Access, Rights Retention Strategy
Interesting to see this published behind a paywall at Nature Genetics
The authors have used the rights retention strategy, the statement is clearly there in the acknowledgements (which sit outside the paywall at this journal). But I can't yet find the full text open copy they have the right to upload to EuropePMC.
Paywalled version: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41588-022-01204-x
EuropePMC entry for it: https://europepmc.org/article/MED/36333503
Two principles currently govern the work of the digital humanities: open access and open source.
COVE (Collaborative Organization for Virtual Education, covecollective.org, subscribes to both principles: supporting an open-access publication platform, COVE Editions, and using and modifying open-source tools.

« Governments around the world are increasingly wanting to control and specify the role of universities, and so having a global voice which is independent of national or regional interests is becoming even more important ».

Censorship and Suppression of Covid-19 Heterodoxy: Tactics and Counter-Tactics
Controverses sur les connaissances et les politiques liées au COVID.
Pour contrer la menace que représentent les médecins et les scientifiques qui contestent la position officielle des autorités sanitaires gouvernementales et intergouvernementales, des partisans de cette orthodoxie ont entrepris de censurer ceux qui défendent des points de vue divergents.

Petit rappel pour les nouveaux : Les messages privés ont la sécurité d'une carte postale.
- Les admins (actuels et futurs) de votre serveur peuvent les lire.
- Les admin (actuels et futurs) du serveur de votre interlocuteur peuvent les lire aussi.
- S'il y a un jour une faille de sécurité sur un des deux serveurs, les messages sont en clair.
Si c'est vraiment privé, utilisé un autre canal de communication.
Note : C'est aussi vrai sur twitter.

En effet, un guide Mastodon fort utile.
Un « Guide rapide » de Mastodon. Super le mode web avancé, c'est ce que je cherchais. Pas @joachim https://joachimesque.com/blog/un-guide-rapide-d...
