I really like this! The work of defining an interdisciplinary space is really difficult, and I’m glad that you’re taking advantage of this space for that process. I’ll look forward to seeing how this evolves.

I love this. And yes, that is a highly suspicious chair. I’ll look forward to hearing how the search for a new chair, and new resolve, goes.

This is fab. One suggestion: you might lead with the questions you’re now exploring, and then back up to show how you arrived at those questions and then how you plan to work toward some answers…

It’s been a bit of a whirlwind, having this 5th birthday celebration for the Commons come so soon on the heels of Thanksgiving and Giving Tuesday, but the coincidence of these events has had me thinking about the […]

Thanks for this, Ernesto. Talking to SocArXiv and other repositories is a very good idea. I can also see the possibility of some kind of author declaration and/or caveat. But your comment now has me wondering about ways of relying on the community itself to help us with this kind of review — a means by which users can flag content as problematic…[Read more]

I’m wondering how the Commons might make use of this kind of micro-blogging: small posts that enable a user to think out loud about the issues they’re working on or things they’re wondering about. Perhaps we could separate these posts out and include them on user profiles in a way that creates a more personalized, and more regularly updated, environment?

Kathleen Fitzpatrick wrote a new post, Community, Safety, and Trust, on the site Platypus on Humanities Commons 1 year, 4 months ago

So sorry that you/we now have to deal with this, but I think it’s inevitable, alas. I very much you like your idea above about need to verify account to use some features, as long as some features remain completely open-access. For instance, I think that all the syllabi and uploaded scholarship/PDFs should remain OA with no need for the user/downloader to provide any info (that’s such a wonderful change from Academia edu etc). But yes, people who want to run a conference or a group chat should be verified in some way.

Thank you for your swift and decisive action. I think you made the right decision because this repository cannot become a dumping ground for misinformation. Thank you.
Concur. That outcome is depressingly probable.

But your comment now has me wondering about ways of relying on the community itself to help us with this kind of review — a means by which users can flag content as problematic or in need of evaluation?
