#3No kidding when the other site has filled up with people who only believes statements that any smart 5 year old would think is silly.
It is too bad things have got to this point, but we as voters let it happen. At least there are some countries that still value Science. The US seems to be doing all it can to hand what remains of our scientific lead to those countries.

#7>They ended up with a final sample size of 813 people.
I want BlueSky to succeed but this sampling bias is simply too much to ignore.
This comment (by nunobrito) from few days ago on a similar topic is best analysis of this topic.
> These news are awfully similar to click-bait stating "the science is settled" by grouping a small set of the group and then pretending it represents the whole. The paper failed both to identify the overall number of scientists using X or the cases where multiple platforms are used (most common scenario). Therefore the paper only seems biased on its best scenario or downright propaganda at its worst. > NOSTR and Mastodon should never be left out of any serious research.

#8FWIW, Bluesky still seems unfriendly to email alias providers.
I never managed to create an account on Bluesky as one of their support email blocks certain email domains. They still have a long way to go.

No true scotsman's fallacy - no serious person would use X; if you use X you aren't serious.

#10Can't help but notice arstechnica seems to have an anti-Elon agenda.
I recall them posting articles claiming Twitter's content was important for historical reasons (agree on that) and would disappear once Elon took over, which afaik, didn't happen.
