Having slept on this, still thinking about best way to help law profs break the SSRN habit and move to SocArXiv or equiv.
Qs for the law profs: do you think your school/library would help support a move? Maybe by chipping in to create ejournals on SocArXiv? Would you make the move?

How to replace @ssrn.bsky.social?
Look to @socarxiv.bsky.social, talk to @philipncohen.com.
Buy lawarxiv.info and have Claude or even real humans(!) code a reboot.
Get on the law librarian listserv and spread news about the new common repository.
A collective action problem, but solvable.

Standard alternative needed, & fast. @socarxiv.bsky.social is perhaps a good model. Would love to see widespread buy-in from law libraries (& philanthropies run by former law librarians like @palfrey.org). Lawarxiv would be cheap to code/reboot; solvable collective action prob to get everyone on it.
