Hat irgendjemand aus der deutschsprachigen Wissenschaftscommunity schon persönliche Erfahrungen mit dem
Open Science Network
https://openscience.network/
gesammelt?
Es scheint eine Bonfire Instanz mit ORCID-Integration zu sein, eine Art Community Forum für Forschende im Fediverse... Wie LinkedIn aber ohne den Bullshit?
Kennt ihr das? Ich wüsste gern mehr darüber.
Boosts welcome!
@AvSchroeder 🖐️ Ich bin ein Teil davon und werde gerne darüber sprechen
@AvSchroeder hui, noch nie gehört - aber sieht spannend aus.
In "What researchers are saying" sehe ich schon mal ein paar bekannte Gesichter :)

Indeed ! I cannot read or write German nor Dutch, so will trust automated translation for a reply.
Yes, I think this is very promising, and somewhat already functional today. It is a flavour of @Bonfire that is dedicated to science. I see it somewhere between late Twitter and ResearchGate, but ethical, self-hosted, owned and controlled by the scientific community, and, most important connected to the Fediverse and thus Mastodon.
@lavaeolus @AvSchroeder @UlrikeHahn @Bonfire
Well, actually, I think it already has much more features than the old Twitter and Research Gate combined... and they are heading for communities : https://bonfirenetworks.org/posts/why-community-matters-groups-as-the-next-step-for-the-fediverse/

However, I have not tested fully, as there is no flagship instance. I have been testing it only through the sandbox (https://sandbox.openscience.network). As it based on Bonfire, you can test Bonfire on its campgroung : https://campground.bonfire.cafe. But you will miss the science specific features.
I am working in my university to see if we can run an instance of Open Science Network.
@fresseng @lavaeolus @UlrikeHahn @Bonfire yes, I do think we need a flagship instance to get it started and running. Sandboxing will not cut it.
@AvSchroeder @lavaeolus @UlrikeHahn @Bonfire
They do not want to, and I understand why : it is to keep it truly federated.
Furthermore, running such an instance has costs. My feeling is that it is the responsibility of the scientific community to host OSN servers.
We manage to do it for emails (SMTP protocol) : why not for OSN (ActivityPub protocol) ?
