Hmm. I’m not sure! I understand muting, but these platforms are important channels of communication in our part of academia, so I’m really not sure about blocking (if there’s no harassment). I think this is partly bothering me as I really wasn’t expecting it, given that we had no direct interaction.

I am looking for examples of corpus-based digital humanities approaches in philosophy of science. Please help! #philsci

They clearly haven’t blocked the more senior people who have similar opinions to me and also often disagree with them. I find this super strange to do if you use a social media platform mainly for academic exchange. Bluesky is worse than Twitter here as it’s not open yet, so blocked == no access.

Oooh this is nice, thank you!!

I seem to have been blocked by someone who has in the past claimed to be a champion of ECRs. As far as I’m aware I haven’t even engaged with them on here, but now I’m excluded from a lot of the metascience discussion currently happening here. Doesn’t feel particularly inclusive or ECR friendly tbh.

Ahhhh thank you!!

#metasci@fidlerfm.bsky.social et al's replicats workshops, but I just can't find any neat cases!

Is there a good history of academic philosophy in England that explains why things look the way they do in the early 20th century? Like where did the journals come from, how did the departments get formed, etc.? A social or political-economic history of analytic philosophy. #philsky

And the PhilSci archive actually predates lots of the popular preprint servers in other disciplines!

Something I learned attributed to Bernard Williams. As early as you can make eye contact with every audience member. Two reasons. First, to make a connection. Second, they know you’re watching and will be embarrassed if they are caught out drifting off.
