I am happy to announce that there's a new PhD-centric community hosted on Lemm.ee: @phd
Do you have a #PhD, or are you interested in getting one? Are you on #Lemmy, or are you thinking about checking it out?
Come join us, and help us build an open, inclusive, and supportive community, where topics related to PhD degrees, research, and academic activities can be discussed, shared, and reflected upon.

related or connected to r/PhD?
No. Other than sharing pretty much the same rules and name as /r/Phd this
community is not affiliated in any way with /r/Phd. Did the idea for c/PhD come
from the r/PhD community?
No. r/PhD was the inspiration for starting this c/PhD on Lemm.ee
[http://Lemm.ee], but this idea did not start or come from within r/PhD. Do the
mods of r/PhD know about c/PhD? Yes. I consulted with them before opening this
community, asking if they would be interested in coordinating activities or
participating on c/PhD. Mods replied saying they have no interest in moving or
branching out to Lemmy, and encouraged us to create c/PhD.
Getting a PhD just means you are willing to do whatever it takes to appease the system. They are political rather than intelligence based. Not to say a PhD is meritless. But they don’t impress me. Bootlicking isn’t a skill I’m interested in.
