#Substack bragging about their new $100 million investment from the #TechBro VC’s and how that will enable them to democratize publishing and do more online community building. Uh-huh. They took big $$ from previous investor Andreessen, who based on his own utterances appears to be a racist fascist. I’m personally not confident, as a previous contributor to the site, that being beholden to right-wing investors is a good thing - on any level. It sure didn’t work out with #SocialMedia did it? Now, more of the same in the online #DigitalPublishing space. Looks like #enshittification to me.

Celebrating 10 years of WG #DigitalPublishing @DHd, we’re excited to share the anthology "Reputation without #Paywall" [ger]. It explores scholarly reputation in the #OpenAccess era. Check out the contributions (published incrementally): https://doi.org/10.26298/1981-5838
Melusina PressReputation ohne Paywall? | Melusina PressDer vorliegende Sammelband enthält Beiträge zu den Ergebnissen der Tagung "Reputation ohne Paywall", die von der *AG Digitales Publizieren* des Fachverbandes *Digital Humanities im deutschsprachigen Raum* im Oktober 2024 in Darmstadt, anlässlich ihres 10-jährigen Bestehens, veranstaltet wurde. Die versammelten Beiträge entwickeln neue Perspektiven auf Funktion, Wirkungsweise und Struktur von Reputation als sozio-kulturelles Organisationsmittel im Wissenschaftssystem vor dem Hintergrund von Entwicklungen wie der digitalen Transformation oder *Open Access*. Diskutiert wird zum einen die Selbst-Referenzialität des Reputationssystems, die zu einer Verzerrung der vermeintlich abgebildeten wissenschaftlichen Leistung führt sowie strukturelle Innovationsprozesse erschwert. Zum anderen werden alternative Reputationsmodelle entworfen und Strategien entwickelt, wie *Open Access* Akteure sich erfolgreich im gegenwärtigen Reputationssystem positionieren können.
