There was an even bigger difference in the comments received. All on Threads and all but one here were positive, constructive, or neutral (one person was just being a jerk, not a troll). Only 18% on X were positive or neutral. The rest were negative, many highly so.

Yay! Blue Sky and Threads are intact echochambers, preaching to the choir!

These twitter reactions are bizarre, especially considering how innocuous your original post was. It was rational and calm and not alarmist or emotional at all I don't get how people felt the need to attack or insult you, but I guess it somehow makes sense to those people. Weird.

Since I had such a large sample (nearly a hundred), I analyzed X comments by category. 47% said climate wasn't changing, I was lying, ignorant, or not really a scientist 15% said I was in it for the $ 14% were insults Content warning: Please don't read the fine print if you're sensitive.

I like having a visual as to why I should stop doing something, like going on Twitter

I genuinely wonder how many interactions on X were targeted bots. Given that most bots have names like jeff21319578 Maybe count the frequency of digits in the user @ names of positive and negative responses and do a t test or so πŸ˜†

Twitter is overrun by bots that respond negatively to any mention of climate change or race so this isn’t surprising.

I am disheartened that many, if not all, EDU and GOV accounts remain on X and not here where many of the scientists hang out. It's good to not be in a bubble and to engage all audiences, but the world on X seems so toxic at this point that it is arguably an even worse type of bubble.

This is true. You only get response on Twitter if you say something that agitates people. In all other cases, it won't even be shown on people's screens.
