There is now a Mastodon instance for publishing scientists: FediScience.

Everyone is welcome from PhD student to professor, as well as researchers from outside of academia. You are welcome to stay afterwards, but it is also easy to change to another server.

There will be a lot of science talk on this server, but there is no need to only talk science

Boosts are appreciated to let others know about this new instance.

@jorge I was also shocked seeing that. That reporting was not fully fair. Most people using such services are on the edge of science a series of blog posts analysing these journals showed.

The established researchers on the list are often co-authors, who wrongly trusted the first author. Fake journals ask enormous fees for people finding out where they published and wanting their names removed.
