But aren't you worried that you're missing out on all the hot chicks that follow/message you every hour of every day? I don't want to brag, but I have like 500 new followers since I abandoned the platform!

And why I don't trust Threads. Very Stepford.

I’m still there because I’m somewhat sure that we will look back on everyone having left and realize it was a mistake to abandon the playing field in an information war.

I saw this with responses to my tweets starting even before it was sold, but then it accelerated. It was like talking to a wall. A nasty, racist wall.

I was a little sad to leave Twitter as I met my wife on there back in 2012, but we both found that BlueSky offered an experience very similar to Twitter of that period while X offered an experience similar to being tied to a chair with your eyes forced open and Nazi propaganda run 24x7.

Yes. I think that leaving or staying is a difficult decision. Leave, and the field is even more open to the homophobic, misogynistic, science deniers. Stay and you increase traffic and income. I finally left because using the word ‘cis’ even in a neutral way was censored and that was simply too much

Right. It may feel like we’ve gone back to 2009 over here, in terms of feats and numbers on the platform, but better to be in 2009 than over on Twitter in literal Hell. Bluesky - it has the juice.

It's a bad time for many scientists overall, but climate scientists are really catching it from the ignoratti.

TW has become a place where even well minded people communicate in rough manners, seems that if you don't "yell" or insult you won't be read.

Elmo really has turned Twitter into Xitter. (the X is pronounced in the Chinese 'pinyin' style, as a "sh")

I still can't bring myself to jump from Musk to Zuckerberg. Quit Twitter months ago & am getting used to BlueSky, though I feel like I'm still missing a lot of good input from people I used to follow.

I tried the Microsoft Community too & they are just like Twitter - only with fewer positive comments or civil conversations. Their moderating is absolutely juvenile.

That kind of social-scientific inquiry gets an insta-follow from me. Thanks for the share!
