3/ The Mastodon work is essentially solo. There are no "guest posts" on Mastodon accounts, tho I do boost the posts of others.

By contrast, the OATP work is collaborative and #crowdsourced. Most of the items that we capture on these topics we tag with "oa.trump47". Here's what we've tagged so far:
tagteam.harvard.edu/hubs/oatp/…

If you want to tag for OATP and help this cause, here's how to get started or see what's involved.

4/ But #OATP can't be the only #crowdsourced component of this project.

First, many people who'd like to contribute would rather post to #SocialMedia or contribute to #Wikipedia than tag for a tagging project.

Second, the scope of OATP has is narrower than many contributors would like.

Third, OATP itself has an uncertain future.

Taking over OATP and TT

Peter Suber Taking over the Open Access Tracking Project and TagTeam What I’d like Background What would this entail? If you take over OATP... If you take over TT... If you take over either project or both...

5/ I collect and reformat many of my project-related Mastodon posts on a #wiki page, for those who don't want to visit Mastodon. (The same wiki page collects my Twitter posts on the first Trump admin.)

But this isn't crowdsourced either. Unlike most other wikis, this one isn't open for public edits and can't be. I launched it at the @bkc it to hold the deliverables for some of my grant-funded #OpenAccess projects.

7/ For example, I see many #SocialMedia posts on these topics but not much convergence in the #hashtags they use. #Trump, #USPol, and #USPolitics are common but they're not specific to these topics. We need to supplement them with tags that are more specific.

#DefendResearch is new with the Feb 13 Declaration to Defend Research. (Disclosure: I'm a co-author.)

The tag is catching on but not yet widespread. Can we help it spread?

8/ Are there other tags we should foster for this purpose? Ideally they should be specific to these topics, short, and self-explanatory.

To help people monitor what's happening, we should try to get reasonably wide agreement on the best tags to use.

9/ I love #Wikipedia as a reader and served on the @wikimediafoundation Advisory Board for a few years. But my experience as a contributor has been largely negative.

Could we do this monitoring job on Wikipedia without inviting editors to take it down for violating the neutral point of view (#NPOV)?

We should be able to. The actions of the Trump admin, and the actions of those pushing back, are public and could be logged neutrally. But I'm not optimistic that such a list would survive for long. Could any #Wikipedians advise or help with that?

10/ #Trump is doing damage on many fronts, not just the front of open and uncensored research. Are there projects to #crowdsource info on all of that damage? If so, the project on damage to research could be part of that larger project.

I welcome your thoughts.
