“Results show that for every reported professional benefit that scientists once gained from Twitter, scientists can now gain that benefit more effectively on Bluesky than on Twitter.”

Boom. Mic drop.

I would agree with this, but I also think that Bluesky is better than spending all of our time congratulating each other on LinkedIn, which seems to be the only alternative these days

This 👇. I'm also missing #ScienceTwitter and I can't figure how to get my #ScienceSky 🧪 -tagged skeets into the official Science Sky feed. 🤷‍♂️ For a while, #LinkedIn felt like it was the successor to Twitter, but it's probably not. 😿

I feel like Bluesky still lacks *something* that Science Twitter had. Yes, Twitter sucks now, but Bluesky is a pretty anemic replacement. Maybe it's less engagement or cross-talk, but it still feels very hollow here.
I used to have whole conversations on Sci. Twitter, but that doesn't happen here.

Here is a press release/ summary blog post about our new paper.

Key conclusion: For every single professional use that scientists used to use Twitter for, Twitter is much worse now than it used to be, and Bluesky is better that Twitter currently is.

Hey everybody! @drjuliawester.bsky.social and I have a new paper!

We surveyed over 800 scientists, science communicators, and science educators who use social media.

Conclusion: Scientists no longer find Twitter useful or pleasant, and many have switched to Bluesky! 🧪🌎🦑

The new "I Know What You Did Last Summer" has me thinking about how they messed up the name of the 1998 sequel. 🤦‍♂️

Alternatively, it could have been "I Still Know What You Did the *Previous* Summer." 🤷‍♂️
