Generating new knowledge typically starts with a study. Now, libraries struggle to afford them (cbc.ca) en

The rising costs university libraries are paying to access journals have implications far beyond the ivory tower. From new cancer treatments to debates about foreign policy, new information enters the public domain through academic studies. Now libraries are having trouble affording the subscriptions.

Sinnerman,

It should be an unconditional requirement that the day your university receives a penny of public funding your papers must be public domain.

Some grants do have this requirement. So publishers just charge you extra to make your article "open source".

Truly, academic publishers are vile people who make the world a worse place.

Sinnerman,

“this whole fediverse concept is so hard to get your head around”

Respectfully, I think this is because join-lemmy.org is confusing. Here are the simple instructions I give people:

  1. Go to https://kbin.social/ and start reading.
  2. If you want to join, click "Log In" at the top, and then "Register"

Everything else they can figure out as they go along.

Sinnerman,

Also tildes.net. However, they're trying to grow slowly, and they're focused on text-only discussions.
