What do they use?
- rob_c 5y agoSerious people on serious topics, journals, peer reviewed publications, non anonymous blogs, large email threads... Almost anything other than a) social media and b) anonymous platforms
- netizen-936824 5y agoTwitter is not anonymous and the authors have their real names attached. Their credentials are easy to verify It's not peer reviewed but that shouldn't discount the opinions of people who work in the field
