@jnl@hcommons.social Operating on the assumption that you’re referring to the notetaking app rather than the volcanic glass, but having read my Jemisin, either works.

Yes, Apple autocorrect, when I mistakenly thumb-typed “Haveing” on my phone, I probably did mean “Ja ring” rather than, I don’t know, “having.”

I am enormously grateful for our colleagues at @digitalscholar@fosstodon.org and their commitment to open scholarly infrastructure -- both their own projects and the projects like Knowledge Commons that they help support. Nonprofit, community-oriented platforms are crucial to an open future for knowledge creation, sharing, and preservation, but many such platforms (ahem) are struggling in the current funding landscape. I hope that you'll consider supporting the free and open tools and services that you rely on, because those tools and services rely on you. @hello@hcommons.social @hello@hcommons.social

I am delighted to share that Knowledge Commons has received another generous gift from our friends at Digital Scholar. This gift will help us continue to support researchers who want to resist the corporate enclosure of their work -- but we still need your help, too. https://about.hcommons.org/2026/02/03/digital-scholar-donates-20000-to-knowledge-commons-and-why-that-gift-matters/

Our friends at @investinopen@indieweb.social have posted a case study of our attempts to create real sustainability for Knowledge Commons: https://investinopen.org/blog/building-the-commons-how-knowledge-commons-is-navigating-challenges-through-community-and-collaboration/

I'm enormously grateful to @lbcollister@sciences.social for this story and for IOI's tireless cheerleading for sustainable open infrastructure.

There are many research hosting services out there. Lots of them want to host your work in order to mine it for profit. Knowledge Commons wants to build a coalition of researchers, teachers, students, and more, in order to resist the authoritarian effort to undermine public access to knowledge. Please join us by visiting https://hcommons.org, creating an account, and sharing your work with the world. And if you like what you find and want to support our efforts, become a KC Champion! We are committed to our community and its work, and we hope you’ll share that commitment. https://about.hcommons.org/kc-champions

Just FYI: this is part of the damage being done by extractive AI companies. Their scraper bots routinely DDOS us, and they multiply to take up as much bandwidth as is available. We are having to put a huge percentage of our developers’ time into just keeping the site alive rather than building its future. They are actively destroying everything worthwhile about the internet. @hello@hcommons.social @hello@hcommons.social
