Replying to @wynkenhimself and @martin_eve
Absolutely! The thing is just that we need the same investment in infrastructure to support the preservation of digital objects.

Ahahaha no I don’t think you’re an idiot! Honestly, I only found that toggle day before yesterday, so.
Replying to @jwolman
But I guess I haven’t sent any in-iMessages photos, and assumed that that toggle would carry over. Entirely too logical, I guess.

Agreed, 100%.

It’s worth listening to the whole thing. And it’s worth noting: Bernard Guetta is a polemicist, but he’s not easily classified as a leftist.

Replying to @wynkenhimself
I’m so sorry. Sending you all the ❤️. But yes, this.
Replying to @kfitz
I’ve heard this concern expressed a fair bit about @humcommons and have a couple of things to say. https://twitter.com/tim_hutchings/status/928907839183171589
Replying to @kfitz
I’m going to leave aside my somewhat knee-jerk desire to point out that few have complained about the ways that projects with “science” limit their address.
Replying to @kfitz
Because there’s a real point here: naming the humanities limits our reach. And to a significant extent, that’s purposeful.
Replying to @kfitz
The humanities have long been underserved by digital infrastructure projects. Scientists have load of open science networks. Social scientists have had SSRN.
Replying to @kfitz
And as Humanities Commons began with the MLA, and MLA Commons, it seemed only natural that we should serve our own constituency first.
Replying to @kfitz
But: First. Platforming outward from MLA Commons to Humanities Commons has been one step in a process. And more steps are to come.
Replying to @kfitz
It’s hard to develop community by simply throwing open the doors. Much as I resist the Facebook analogy, it’s worth considering how the platform grew.
Replying to @kfitz
First, they established internally-focused networks within individual institutions, enabling members to connect with people they already knew.
Replying to @kfitz
Then they created means of connecting across those networks. And only once there was a critical mass of participation did they open the doors to everyone.
Replying to @kfitz
One of the mistakes that’s been made repeatedly in open scholarly communication projects has been the attempt to create the bucket of everything.
Replying to @kfitz
Sometimes that bucket has been journal-shaped, and sometimes it’s been social network shaped. But they all face the same challenge:
Replying to @kfitz
Getting individual scholars who identify with their field or subfield and who want to speak with their colleagues to recognize themselves in “everybody.”
Replying to @kfitz
So @humcommons has begun with communities of practice — but they’re just a place to start.
Replying to @kfitz
We welcome the involvement of new communities of practice, and we look forward to growing the network in organic, collaborative ways.
Replying to @tim_hutchings
I completely get that — I’m hoping that we can provide a bridge for such conversations very soon.

Replying to @mrgunn
I don’t think I’d say that. Maximal inclusiveness remains an important goal. But it’s important to know that what counts as “maximal” at any given moment is relative to what’s possible, and to have a clear sense of the necessary steps to get there.
Replying to @mrgunn
Indeed.
