A:Yes it’s further entrenching inequality by blocking smaller and younger researchers from being able to publish in glamorous journals, reducing grant success creating a <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/MatthewEffect" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#MatthewEffect</a><a href="https://www.science.org/content/article/pay-publish-model-open-access-pricing-scientists" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no">https://www.science.org/content/article/pay-publish-model-open-access-pricing-scientists</a>

hauschkeI have to admit that I did not read the specifics about the then announced <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/mastosearch" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#mastosearch</a>. Now that the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/search" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#search</a> feature is here, I am deeply disappointed, because of the fact that it's a local search feature. In fact, I think this could be even harmful for the development of a federated social network. The big instances will have one, and this could drive users to go there. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/MatthewEffect" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#MatthewEffect</a>, here we come.I want opt-in <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/federatedSearch" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#federatedSearch</a>, I want to be able to look beyond my bubble.

Why?Because the opposite effect, the <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/matthewEffect" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#matthewEffect</a> which multiplies existing advantages over time, is (currently) stronger (than trickle down), because current policies do not counterbalance it sufficiently.
