you will remember that i had recently complained about “humanities commons” becoming “knowledge commons”, admitting myself first that it was kinda petty
but turns out, i was not! cos now, they are adding “AI” into the mix… that’s the last straw for me. i have asked for an account deletion
i hadn’t noticed the november update it mentions in there
so… humanities commons is changing its name to “knowledge commons”
i dislike this. it was a one of a kind platform that originated in and foregrounded humanities. now it’s dumping it and becoming a generic preprint thing and dumping its niche. a criminally underserved niche
i don’t know if i wanna use it anymore. when i was quite excited that i would soon be able to upload my thesis and planned papers on it @academicchatter
@academicchatter i mean you might think this is a bit of an overreaction on my part but frankly the “humanities” in the name was almost the main attraction for me. it was like the one place humanities wasn’t an afterthought. it is a big deal imo 🤷♂️
