Hi Jeroen! We don’t have an exact figure, in part because we only have proxies like institutional affiliation or email domain to go by. But our last rough count indicated that somewhere over 25% of our users are outside the US. And that’s a growing group that we want to support.
Replying to @jeroenbosman and @MellonFdn
I’d love to think with you about ways to better support the work of our global membership, including through our governance structures and services.
Replying to @jeroenbosman and @MellonFdn
One thing on our roadmap, but that will require a TON of support *from* our global membership, is localizing the platform so that it can be delivered in languages other than English…

I am thrilled to see a number of academic discussion groups that have been using Eff Bee abandoning that cesspool for better platforms. +

Replying to @kfitz
Not only are we open source, open access, scholar-governed, and not for profit, but we also bring together the affordances of a library-grade OA repository with a rich profile system, a WordPress based publishing platform, and a wide-ranging social network. +
Replying to @kfitz
You can deposit your work \(and receive a DOI for it\), represent it on your professional profile, share it with your colleagues, and discuss it in a range of threaded forums. Plus build a portfolio, create a group publication, and more.

I don’t know about “leading,” but the last couple of references I saw to replacement platforms mentioned Discord.

Teeth are a naturally occurring part of the body. Their health is intimately tied to the health of the body as a whole. “Dental insurance” should not be a thing people have to navigate independently of their overall health. https://twitter.com/stilettobrarian/status/1447653293212282880

Friends, pour one out tonight for my 37yo furnace. When we first had it inspected, after moving into this house 4+ years ago, the tech came back upstairs a little ashen-looking, and said “do you know how old your furnace is?”
Replying to @kfitz
He took me downstairs and showed me the little plaque that indicated its date of manufacture. And said, “you may want to start budgeting.”
Replying to @kfitz
For the next several years, we all thought we had a little Byron the Bulb situation on our hands. Every year the inspector would come upstairs shaking his head. We thought of it as the Little Furnace that Could.
Replying to @kfitz
Today, though, the inspector Heard a Ping. And got a camera to take a look, and showed us the cracks in the heat exchanger.
Replying to @kfitz
So it’s time. Tomorrow we will talk with the sales guy, and figure out how what post-1980s furnace model we want to move to. But it’s clear to us that they don’t make ‘em like that anymore, for good and for ill.

I think that’s what we’re thinking as well. Everything else can wait until all the sofa fires are out.
Oh, are we doing the “alt-ac” debate again? Say it along with me, folks: “alternative” here does not mean “second choice.” It does not mean “plan B.” It’s “alt” as in alt-* usenet groups. “Alt” as in alt-country. “Alt” as in “another university is possible.”
