In the last few weeks a lot of scientists and researchers have left Twitter (X) and moved to Bluesky, a decentralized social media platform developed by former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey. This migration seems to stem from dissatisfaction with changes on X, including concerns about misinformation and perceived biases in content algorithms, and Elon Musk being its owner. Bluesky is similar to early Twitter, featuring a reverse chronological feed and greater user control over content. It’s also growing rapidly, recently reaching over 19 million users, with many from the scientific community exploring its potential as a space for professional networking and academic discourse. I've been on BlueSky and Mastodon for a while, but my number of followers has exploded in the last week or so.
