@devSJR@fosstodon.org @brembs@mastodon.social @neuralreckoning@neuromatch.social @thetransmitter@mastodon.social Yes, it's clear that such a system needs funding, but if the funding is distributed over different sources, it's more stable. It seems that the French government has announced to contribute.

@devSJR@fosstodon.org @olibrendel@scicomm.xyz @brembs@mastodon.social @neuralreckoning@neuromatch.social @thetransmitter@mastodon.social Stop pumping public funding into for-profit publishing and there should be plenty of money available to keep @OpenAlex@mastodon.social afloat ;)
