We've reached the point where we're having to actively degrade the UI and remove useful features of the small scientific database I co-maintain (https://xronos.ch) to try and reduce the extreme load imposed by (unwanted and politely-asked-to-go-away) AI crawler bots. Conversations about new features have to ask whether it's going to make the crawler load problem worse. #OpenData #OpenScience #AIslop #Archaeology

And less than 10 km away from these floating flower beds the city of Copenhagen is burying 275 hectares of a precarious coastal ecosystem in imported soil to build apartment blocks and a motorway bypass. Not sure that&#39;s a net positive for the birds and the bees. https://videnskab.dk/naturvidenskab/strongdel-1-kinderaegget-lynetteholm-og-den-grimme-overraskelse-strong/ #Copenhagen #Greenwashing

‘AltMetric’-style services, which track citations to academic papers outside of academic literature—so in the news, social media, etc.—have been quick to incorporate #BlueSky posts, but I’ve yet to see one that includes the #fediverse I can see that (real) decentralisation makes it harder to find citations to papers in the Fediverse, but it ought to be possible. Is there anybody out there working on some sort of FediMetric service? #AcademicPublishing #Science #Publishing

Something we would really like to have at https://archaeo.social, but haven&#39;t been able to find the time for, is a bot that welcomes new users, gives them tips on how to populate their feed, encourages them to make an #introduction post, then automatically boosts it. Otherwise unfortunately we see that, on a small instance like ours, most new users never get past that initial empty feed. If anybody wants to take this on, it&#39;d be much appreciated! #HelpWanted #MastoAdmin #MetaA...
