I've not used Academia(.)edu in years and am now considering closing my account. Any good reasons not to?

Dr. Paula R. Curtis @paularcurtis.bsky.social · Jun 26

If you're getting notifications from Academia(.)edu about AI versions of your papers now being podcasts, that's because the (predatory) platform has opted you into AI-enhanced outputs, which you can turn off in your Account Settings here.

A screencap of Academia.edu's Account Settings under the header "AI Settings" showing their AI-enhanced Outputs feature is automatically turned on with a green switch unless you turn it off and do your part to de-enshittify the internet.

Fascinating lecture by @trishgreenhalgh.bsky.social on How digitalisation increases health inequalities. Introduced by @auhe-leeds.bsky.social 's own @katiespencer.bsky.social at Leeds Uni Med School. I suspect (hope) lots of research ideas and plans are being generated to build on this. Thank you 🙏

Hot off the presses. It was an absolute pleasure to put this together with @liblaura.bsky.social!

Takeaways:

1. Don't assign systematic/scoping reviews to your students!
2. Don't ask your university librarian to support this terrible idea!
