#knowledgeshouldbefree — Public Fediverse posts

ICYMI: I’ve deleted my Academia.edu account — and I’m not looking back.
Why? Because they don’t support science — they exploit it.

Academia.edu nudges users into paid plans, and wraps commercial goals in academic aesthetics. It’s not open science. It’s a business.

I moved to platforms that respect scholarly values and promote real accessibility (at least I think).

There's also academia.edu which lets you download papers from researchers' pages.Finally, I have no problem with using Sci–Hub if I can't get a paper any other way, tho it"s technically piracy (n. b. only affects publishers' profits since academics don't make any money from journal publications). I strongly believe #KnowledgeShouldBeFree, especially publicly funded research.

An "Isolation Chamber" could be defined as an Echo Chamber of One, where external forces impose limitations on exposure to new ideas, perspectives, and meaningful dialogue.

Being excluded from academia's system doesn't make me wrong—nor does it make them right.
