  1. Philosophers here definitely need a proper Mastodon hashtag like #histodon and #mathstodon folks have. So far I've seen #philscidon, but not #philodon or #philosodon. Is there any such hashtag in other instances? If not, which one should we use?

    #Academia #Philosophy #PhilosophyTwitter

  2. @dingemansemark Great question!
    For me it was Marx' Das Kapital. Was 16 I think, Marx was mentioned as a side not in econ class, which struck me as weird and I went to the library to pick it up.
    Ended up writing my high school 'thesis' on Marx, it (further) sparked my life long interest in philosophy which I ended up studying.
    Started focused on Marx, got lost along the way in metaphysics, but ended up back in social / political philosophy with John Rawls. #philodon

  3. That's why I would also advise for the academics here to jump on the 'domain + don' hashtag train.

    So #histodon for historians, #commodon for sci-comm, #astrodon for astronomers. Maybe we can add #philodon for philosophers, #lindon for linguist, #sociodon for sociologist, etc.

    Actively using such hashtags will make it easier for others to find you, inside #AkademieNL or outside.
