    It’s a great idea but driving eyeballs there would be so difficult given how conservative academics can be with regard to where they prefer to communicate.

      eh, given the choice between literal ‘nazi filled cess pool’ and this… I think the academics know which would be better in the long run.

      Twitter has been the medium of choice for a bunch of fields for years now. You don’t see a lot of academic communication there because much of it is private to followers only to avoid harassment. Followers only Twitter started being a pretty normal thing maybe 10 years ago in response to right wing harassment of women, academics and anyone not conservative white and Christian.
