If ‘academic X’ is sinking, where are research organisations going?

@Andy_Tattersall honestly, it doesn't matter.
Academics posting on x were not really serious, so this sort of drama doesn't really have much impact on academia or the world at large.
In fact, I'd say the non-serious stuff posted on x might have been misinformation anyway, so we all might be better off in the end.
Serious academics have been critical of all that stuff anyway.
@volkris What an utterly baseless thing to say.
@Andy_Tattersall I mean, as an academic on X I feel like I do have some basis for talking about the experience of academics on X...
@volkris 'academics posting on X were not really serious'. That's very black and white. Many academics are quite serious posting on there and were making an impact. Climate, Covid, gender, politics, etc
