“London Eye” — Looking upwards at the London Eye on a cloudy day.
I usually have a good sense of direction, and I can often navigate without maps. But I also have an occasional directional problem. When arriving in a new place I sometimes make an incorrect assumption about the compass directions. Once I do, it is darned near impossible for me to fix it. London is one of the places. For some reason, the first time I visited I reversed north and south, and I’ve struggled since then to get it right. I’ve gotten a lot better — when I look north across the River Thames these days it looks like it is north.

The Open Access Tracking Project (#oatp, @oatp) tracks these with the tag "oa.policies.journals.data". So far we've found 200 (examples and discussions), but there must be more.

4+ years ago the #OpenAccessDirectory started a list of them. But it's still under development and needs volunteers to beef it up, for example, from the OATP.

The first step for integration with Lemmy would be to implement github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issu…
I didn't mention flipboard exclusively, but the way I see it we could have moderators of Lemmy communities that set it to auto-track curated that type of integration could make comments/"flips" visible on Lemmy and interactions from the Lemmy side would lead to reactions on flipboard.
Powerful account of the costs of SLAPP suits, from legal fees to insurance spikes to lost time to reputational harm. Charles Ornstein even lost out on a mortgage.
All states and the fed gov should pass anti-SLAPP laws. Those that have should strengthen them.
