So Bluesky for academia and X for tech and everyone else. I don’t think X is in trouble. Scientist tend to form their own closed communities anyway.

  It's like internet media is reaching a new level of maturity in that it is bifurcating into the tabloids and the serious magazines, like printed media was before.

    In your analogy I suppose bluesky is the serious one? Have you spent any amount of time there?

      They have the scientific community, so that's the direction they could be trending. But this is of course not settled yet.

      The BlueSky “scientific” community. If they can’t withstand the pressure of actual public interaction, their research isn’t worth legitimizing.

        Thankfully X isn't any more of an indicator of the "actual public" than bluesky

          Unfortunately, when the silent majority stay... silent, their opinions go unmeasured and the vocal minority becomes "the public".
