Democracy needs science. But many governments are limiting academic freedom and interfering with decisions about what research is funded and who performs it. Important new piece in @nature@sciencemastodon.com on how democracy not only needs science but also needs to protect science. #science #democracy #freedom #politics https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-026-03510-4

Leaving X. German parties leaving, collectively, is more than a symbolic exit. It is a chance to reassess how and where political communication happens. A platform’s relevance is not inherent. It is constructed through user behavior. And when influential users walk, the relevance begins to erode. #WirVerlassenX #socialmedia #democracy #journalism

Washington Post will be creating their own instance. They will add #mastodon accounts to journalist profiles. Institutional #journalism embracing the #fediverse is important. UPDATE 07.54 AM: WaPo is *discussing* instance, first messaging about this was too definitive. Seeing level of support, hoping they decide in favour [END] #commodon #journodon @communicationscholars

Headlines matter.

Digitale zaken is Chefsache (dat zou het moeten zijn althans). Het onderwerp verdient nu een Minister, met stevige portefeuille en geld, en niet alleen een staatssecretaris. Hier kan men van bijv. Duitsland leren. En weer van Denemarken: sinds 2022 Digitaliseringsministerie. https://nos.nl/liveblog/2600753-verdeling-van-de-posten-wordt-morgen-bekend-geen-nieuw-ministerie-van-digitale-zaken#UPDATE-92038818
