This makes a lot of sense. I have found a few just randomly checking out those with "Dr." Beside their name and how they manipulate and abuse that title while not being able to verify their identity on Twatter. I am very happy with the information and researchers here.

X is done as far as I’m concerned

If they simply brought the twitter mascot back it'd be 50x better, stupid x

Is that Son ic

Great job, @bsky.app !! Congratulations.

👏

You do need to increase the word count and make the posts editable

Even though I still publish my work there, I will not forgive Elon Musk for suspending my account. I have lost a lot because of his trivial policy, but it is good that I have an additional account. But who am I deceiving? I only use it to publish my art

As someone who started his online career in the second decade of this century, I am disappointed with how the internet has changed for the worse. Even the elegant website interfaces have disappeared and been replaced by artificial intelligence.

imagine publishing an article just for thousands of idiots to ask "@grok is this true???"

I see

"Twitter sucks now and all the cool kids are moving to Bluesky" is possibly one of the funniest things I heard an actual scientist say.

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Oh dear imagine Bluesky becoming as big as Twitter and might end up replacing it in the near Future. All the Toxic people coming here will be a pain, this is the only Bird Platform left! I’d love if Bluesky got a hell ton of more features though, I know over time it will.

actually i now get plenty of articles i save from here, from my personal page, not store page. like i did when i used fraudbook aka facebook or reddit its good to see good quality news organizations posting here. although a few and their only get one before paywall, i just get it then from yahoonews

The Main Stream Media and their reporters should also use it and not Twitter (X).

Hell yeah. Our milkshake brings all the boys to the yard.

The Sky is Bluey💙....🌫️

Don't you mean The Site Formerly Known As Twitter? 🤭

i love when people prince-ify twitter lol

Never stops being funny.

mate i just like foss lol

You mean those in charge of rigorous study and repeatable results are not interested in being on a toxic platform full of nothing but lies and conspiracy theories? Shocking.

BlueCry the place to be when you can't handle reality & don't like to be called out on bullshit.

Yea, I'm not sure how well bluesky will play out for the scientific community here. They're gonna have to be very careful what they say if they want to avoid offending people here. It's going to be a minefield.

Science requires proof... Religion and politics do not.

Twitter suspended us for no reason soon after we opened account a while ago. (before BS). These are the only posts we put. We don't care anymore. However we cannot even delete the account. 😡Their support doesn't work at all.

They killed sonic

Emancipated in March 2025

Who doesn’t love BlueSky?

It's not bad but it lacks some things like the home page lacks algorithms because it doesn't align with what I follow or prefer, most of it revolves around politics

I really like Bluesky but I kinda feel that it’s pretty small. Glad to have enough support to keep it going but this is a little shocking if true

It's just that the science part is only for professionals. Ya can't post anything scientific..post lots of science stuff but who bothers unless they're a science nut like I am.

Scientists tend to have higher IQ's. X(Twitter) vs Bluesky is an intelligence test. You are here so you aced the test! Congrats!

the real smart people are those who managed to stay off social media, not one of us here.

It's not even just the crowd. The algorithm highly prioritizes rage bait and that makes for a bad social media experience.

Bluesky is one of the last refuges from having your soul sucked out of you by Orwellian algorithms.

Gee, golly. I wonder why.

Where are the cool people? I haven't seen any.

Objectively, there are issues with both. For instance, Bluesky still needs an edit function. But Bluesky is better for intelligent conversation.

Well, Twitter being anti-rational thinking and anti-science is a start 🐰👍

Thank God I'm not using Twitter. instead i using BlueSky.

Everytime i see the old blue twitter logo upside down I think it's sonic for a hot second.

Why am I not surprised?

Not for the #editButton though, that's for sure...

I call it deadbird

Anyone left leaning prefers Bluesky over X, not Twitter, now a cesspool of angry & confused right wingers. Is that some kind of backhanded insult to Elon?

I prefer Bluesky for various reasons. But I still spend more time on Twitter. I don't post a lot, but I use it for following people who post news, events, sports, stuff like that. And more of them are still 'over there' than here. Love if they were here, but many aren't.

Yeah it's pretty much how it is for me too.. I like the UI of bluesky a lot better than X but... As for now got to do both

this will end the moment that bsky changes its adult content rules. 😉

Bat-Sonic!?

Why "more" and not "all", I wonder.

Yes. Too many bots on "X".

Well, duh :)

✔️

Haha!

Who would have thought that Twitter would go downhill after a Nazi bought it?

Yo, that really looks like the Sonic X logo.

I thought that dead Twitter logo was Sonic the Hedgehog

wait, why is sonic dead? D:

Easier to get the sheep to follow on Blue sky. X forces you to tell the truth. Every Covington "conspiracy" turned out true.

Ditched twitter lin 2024 after USA election and I was there since 2008. This is much better and not owned by you know who. Blue skies are much better here .

Can these scientists figure out a way to open the app where we left off, and not the latest post? I hate having to scroll backwards.

That’s just common sense

but there is no twitter anymore. there is only xitter [shitter]

rightly so 😍

Well, @bsky.app , it really doesn't matter, since more often than not the contents your algorithm chooses to show are picked on whatever shitty crap you've decided, and not my actual interests. Oh, and those crappy things you show are as based as Elon Trump's and Donald Musk's tweets.

Both apps are f”cking terrible

Thought that was a Sonic face...

Congrats 👏👏👏

as they should have done 2 years ago

Twitter is a cesspool. Christian nationalists. Facists. MAGA (traitors). Bots. Science-deniers. I was on since 2008. Ditched it two months ago.

The most annoying thing out there is the porn bots that were always following me - Twitter is dead the blue bird is dead :(

And scammers too. So many. It’s infested.

I joined it just because I wanna talk to a YTber I no longer subbed...and it was in 2020. so for the previous years I think it was better for me. I still going there for posting my works that barely got any traction anyways.

Have you tried Threads? It’s better. No great. But better.

No. and I won't. thanks for the offer anyway. I'm a Gen Z, and I hated socmed when they were still new because I know for a fact that we technically dont need these. I used to be able to be happy not knowing shit outside culture out of facebook, twitter, etc etc. Now I can't. And here I am.

Try being Gen-X. Even worse for us. Lol.

I pity and also jealous of ye olden times sir. as much as I do admit I'd struggle in those times due to "inconveniences" at least I have some freedoms in other things from what I've seen. But then again there might be some sucky things in those olden days which is measurable as nowadays I guess.

I ran sites for other people and gave up due to the twin blades of inherent nastiness and flat results. It wasn't worth the time any more.

I have zero idea why, but for a split second there I saw the silhouette of a certain blue rodent's head in that thumbnail.

maybe it's because i just woke up but i thought that was sonic the hedgehog for like 2 whole seconds

I’m hang with the Scientist here on BS every day of the week. No former blue bird for me for a long time now.

I read it, and now I’m here giving you guys a follow. 👋

That's because all the anti science Magats have infested Twitter. Or X or wtf ever they call themselves now. It is now an idiot echo chamber.

good

For a moment I got really confused cause I thought the bird was Sonic.

if you’re still on twitter at this point you aren’t even part of the problem you *are* the problem

not getting enough 🍭 shit from other ai’s i guess

Consider the audience on X Bluesky is the obvious venue for serious deployment of scientific information.

Lowkey thought that upside down twitted image was a horse with no nose.

🙄

💩 I call BS. There are lot of words in your article but little information. 👉How was the survey constructed? 👉What was the question text? 👉What in the world does "You want to use the sample and the method that's appropriate..." mean? You selected the answers that supported your cognitive bias?

👉You only quote percent, not actual numbers. 👉With only 813 responses, the results could be no better than +/- 5%; probably higher 👉The 2023 Nature study had 9,200 responses. 👉Nature says only 6% went to Bluesky For a report about scientists, this is decidedly unscientific.

X says determining the number of scientists on X is difficult, but is somewhere between 60,000 and 300,000 of their 600 million. Statistical estimates of Bluesky scientists is 17,000 to 40,000, and I wager most believe in anthropogenic climate change‼️ And again, I call BS. C'mon, argue with me.

Am I the only one who saw the Sonic logo instead of Twitter upside down? 🤣

I agree. Bluesky is ten times better. This is my favorite app.

I mean I have a Twitter account but I don't think I ever really used it. Bluesky however, I check it almost daily. I can actually find news and info I like. Though I would like if more of the people I followed on Insta for example were here. Still 12/10 app. Will recommend

one gets truth of facts in blue sky; one gets fiction from old twitter and even meta; the latter two equivalent to lies from faux news and the other right wing news garbage tv channels.

Why are they still there 😂

No scientist can choose Twitter because it doesn't exist. It's been replaced by X, which is a colossal shithole that doesn't deserve any of the reputation or notoriety that Twitter earned.

TRUE!

Elon has started accounts on Bluesky. He’s interacted w me. I just went scrolling on here to find it, like a needle in haystack. But he’s on here too trying to be amongst us.

Do they know Bluesky is dead? Are they studying why are we on a dead app?

What Harry is really saying “I work for Musk, the Nazi lord. My job is to get people to return to Twitter by saying Bluesky is dead”

😣

Твиттер умер в начале января 2025 года..

why did they kill sonic

But Bluesky doesn’t feel that active tho.

I DID!!!

Nope.

Wonder why.🤣🎯

That's sonic bro

I hate Elon musk

Disagree, you have to know where to go on X. There is no Twitter

Short answer....Twitter sucks!

A small thing I know, but the owner of bluesky doesn't personally endorse violent nazis or rebroadcast the words of violent nazis to millions of people. 👍

No shock that Elon is backing the fash, but hopefully his endorsement will be the kiss of death.

He'll back anything that brings back his beloved apartheid

💯

Just remember that one day, Musk wil inherit the emerald mines his parents own, where children worked in potentially lethal conditions. That's Musk's history, and future. Whose kids? YOUR KIDS, when he deports them to work in his mines.

@boredscrollmaster.bsky.social What does RWNJ mean please?

Right-Wing Nut Job. If you find yourself wondering what some acronym means, you can always check Urban Dictionary, it can be surprising at times. www.urbandictionary.com

English is not my mothertongue, dictionaries are not always just as clear as it is for a native speaker... But thanks. And i won't bother you again, no worries.

No harm in asking when you don't understand something

I don't mind. Sometimes there's new acronyms I don't know, too.

He will kill Tesla as no individual with moral values would want to drive around in a mobile MAGA hat!

Look at Jake tapper being verified and say this

Yep !

Welcome to 2 years ago.

If he'd at least have kept the bird it would have softened the blow!

Twitter died when Musk bought it. X is a RWNJ site now.

Clearly, you weren't on Twitter back in 2016. It was awful for a long time. Musk didn't kill the site; he basically bought a building that was already on fire and didn't bother to put it out.

It was before Musk bought it too. But before Musk took over, Twitter was at least fighting that bias, and trying to improve. Musk wanted Twitter precisely because he felt Twitter was much too "woke" (and also because he believes he's *that* much smarter than everyone else).

Musk said that then, but Musk bought it specifically to turn it into what it is now, a RWNJ propaganda platform. Yes, it had its failings before Musk bought it, with tons of bots and RWNJ malcontents, but by buying it, Musk sent it over the cliff with an anvil for a parachute.

Ummm... that's a "yes"?

Twitter was generally okay before Musk bought it.

Promising, but we need more to move away than just scientists and creatives. We need the medium to big companies and the entertainment types. When I can get updates on my favorite games, movies, tv, sports, etc. on Bluesky instead of Twitter, that's when I know it'll be financially viable.

Welcome!

And yet Bluesky is repeating Twitter's mistakes by censoring sex workers and trans rights

I agree. I believe that many of us X refugees brought our trauma with us and are repeating the cycle here, too.

"I think the problem is not with how social media works, it's with how any group of people work," said Shiffman. 100% this. People need to take accountability for their behaviour on social media

Only junk scientists.

x is compromised you cant trust the owners haven't been there since they allowed trump back on never join a club that would have him as a member or grok btw Elon is a NAZI im happy here posting bluez on the buttery

Wow

Never had a twitter account, never liked it. Dom't ask why i have made a bluesky account, because i can't answer, i don't know...

Twitter was fun till about 2016, and then went to hell. Unfortunately, bluesky is Twitter 2016 and will probably repeat many of twitter's mistakes...

Twitter went in the sh*tter.

Yet somehow X is still less biased.

I've never been on Twitter or X. Sure as hell never been cool, but thanks, Bluesky!

Twatter always sucked right from the beginning... it only got worse when f.elon muSSk bought it and made it Twat-X.

hard no. original Twitter with post editing and text tweets was best in 2007-2011

No, it was always garbage.

I agree with the scientists.

Thought that was a really janky version of Sonic at first.

Science is coming over to the place where everyone is offended by Science? Lol! Good luck, guys.

Another W for the butterfly.

bsky.app/profile/robv...

i thought that was sonic

It's a shame how so many talented artists are still using it just because everyone else is, hoping more friends switch to bluesky

Cool kids? Not seen any on @bsky.app . Thoughtful older people? Well, yes, there are zillions of us.

invite.bitdu.com/en-gb?invite...

X, the everything but relevant app.

Proof that scientists are intelligent.

Yes

or mastodon as terence tao mathstodon.xyz/@tao

😂

Hopefully most scientists are only still on Twitter to study it's users, kinda like how scientists camp out in a jungle to study apes. Incredibly bigoted, terminally online, incredibly gullible apes...

Not a surprise

"But why?"

Twitter died when Musk bought it. X is a RWNJ site now.

Hahaha! Eat My Shorts Elon!

Why does the Twitter logo upside down look like Sonic?

I did see it that way at first 😆

Same lol

Same here

Also here.

Me too

weird thing is i saw sonic at first but i can’t see him when i look at it directly

LOL YEAH!

THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING!!!

Dang, it actually does. At first glance when I looked at this post it looked just like Sonic and I thought this was a Sonic related post

OMG, it does xD

me as well

Dinos actually

Was just about to comment this, but you beat me, lol

I saw it too, and now I can not unsee it

This reminds me of that one KFC and Sonic thread from a few years ago

youtu.be/JsPE2IfI-q4?...

More scientists choose Mario over Sonic

This was a popular question and meme when they first released that logo design, too lol.

Sonic X reference

Because Musk is Dr. Eggman.

Please, do not disrespect the great Dr. Ivo Robotnik by comparing him with the hack that is Elon the Muskrat

That’s what I thought lmao😭

I genuinely thought it was Sonic at first

He will threaten to sue them ...

Cool kids. 😎

I am not smort. But i like science.

C'est assez simple. Il suffit de passer 2 minutes sur Twitter pour comprendre ce qui se passe.

And the anti science stays on twitter

X is slowly but surely living up to its name. One of the things that the letter 'x' symbolizes is an end. Careful what you name your business.

Not only that, but it's a rename. Musk sacrificed over a decade's worth of branding for his no-name idiocy.

remember; if the Nazis move here, DO NOT GIVE THEM ENGAGEMENT. DO NOT EVEN DUNK ON THEM. block and move on. engagement is their food. NEVER forget the ol Internet adage of "don't feed the trolls"!

Yeah, twitter is so awful right now. You can literally just feel the collective drop in IQ the moment you open a comment section over there. It's all the absolute dumbest people you have ever known in one place, held together only by big business leaders and stuff that still need to market to them.

I deleted my Twitter account the day The Orange Shit Stain was allowed back on that platform. Zero regrets.

If we consider that X is the house of disinformation and dumbness... Yeah, makes a lot of sense.

what are you doing here, Sonic?

Just can’t stand how miserable that site is. Not sure how people put up with it.

It's almost like academics and scientists don't want to be on a platform where they'll be heinously attacked by nazis.

Good I will look search for more of those posts

Of course they do. Twitter (X) is a cesspool, dominated by idiots, trolls and bots.

Bluesky is litterally just woke Twitter. Its as bad as Twitter if not worse regarding political hate and toxicity. I can't even say something as basic as "answering hate with hate doesnt make anything better" without being called a fascist and told I should die. And they think theyre superior smh.

And if there were a middle-of-the road / sane social media site, it would soon be infected by the lunacy of the far right AND the far left (both sides want supremacy and damn everyone else). Facebook used to be that middle of the road, until Suckerberg killed it. Never trust a billionaire, EVER.

I dont get why I get hated on for being central, like I want everyone to find middle ground and stop fighting and thats somehow bad?

7/7 As you can see, it's an emotionally charged issue. Some people want the killings on one side to stop, and people like you and me would like ALL the killings stopped, but that's not going to happen, because the two sides are diametrically opposed to each other. The 1st Intifada was decades ago.

6/2 The "two-state" solution will never work because that leaves Palestine in control of its borders. The day the Palestinians get their hands on a nuclear weapon, they will roll it up to Israel and detonate it, just to genocide Israel (the Hamas militants, anyway). Israel will not tolerate this.

5/2 Thus, we're left with the ethnic cleansing of Palestine vs. Hamas' genocide of Israel conflict here. Neither choice is good. The only one of the two that would save Palestine is the ethnic cleansing option, which prevents conflict by putting massive distance between the two.

4/2 This is war. People take sides in war. The only logical way to end the war in a "let's all get along" way would be a permanent UN peacekeeping force in Israel, Gaza, the West Bank, Syria and Lebanon. That's not going to happen because Russia and China will veto it.

3/2 To Hamas, calling for peace means submission to Israel, something not permitted by their religion. To Israel, calling for peace means letting Palestinians retool, rearm, and train children to become Hamas soldiers, making war permanent. Israel wants ethnic cleansing. Hamas wants genocide.

2/2 However, like people with opinions about the Gaza-Israel War, people are on one side or the other for the most part. Peace will not happen there. Palestine declared war on Israel on the day of its creation by the United Nations, and never stopped attacking Israel.

1/2 You're not being hated on for being "central". You're being hated on for expressing an opinion contrary to that of other people. All it takes is one opinion that someone disagrees with, and they're all over you, even on Bluesky.

Yeah ik, I meant that I get fire from both sides. I didnt word it right so that was my bad.

Even if what you say were true the fact Blue sky doesn't have thousands of advertisements being pushed on me as well as Elon's personal preferences for what news I should get, makes it better in my personal experience. I haven't signed in to Twitter (X) in about a year now and don't miss it.

I could care less about ads tbh, they're eveyrwhere. I'd rather have ads than get insane people telling me to die for being civil.

Sure, but if you're looking for nazis, white supremacists, crackers, gun nuts, anti-vaxxers, trolls, trump butt-snorkelers, and bots, Twitter is still the gold standard honey pot.

I remember when Twitter changed its design to "X" I thought it was a mistake until I understood and then it started changing and changing and it started to have artificial intelligence and disgusting robots and then I found out that the blue bird was dead

Twitter is full of scammers and sex bots

Hey so is everywhere. They ain’t new. Ask tumblr

Duh, people on Twitter debate against science because they read at a 6th grade level or lower, and can't understand basic principles and when to apply then

Yes

Jetzt müssen das nur noch Leute wie @achimdittler.bsky.social verstehen, die lieber auf Shitter mit russischen Bots diskutieren 😥

🤗🤣

Honestly I don't blame

easier to choose a place that has some people that attempt to be intelligent and sensible compared to that cesspool

Could be the civility and commitment to evidence? Just guessing…

Twitter seems to be about hate and grievance

📌

Thought that was a dead Sonic the Hedgehog on the right for a split second.

I came to the comments just to make sure I wasn't the only one

It's almost as if they prefer utilizing a social media site that is not hostile to their work.

Good choice…

Is that Fuckin Sonic the Hedgeho-

who killed sonic 😠😡

Cool! 🤩. Only dumb dumbs gonna be left on Twitter and that makes me happy 😊

Given the proliferation of anti science views on that site, this isn’t surprising.

An upside down Twitter logo is actually a silhouette of Sonic the hedgehog? Who knew!

Agreed. It feels more like when the internet first started. No ADS! Thanks Bluesky!

Why would they want the guy that can take their budget have access to their private messages?

Upside-down Twitter looks like the back of sonic the hedgehogs head.

Gaslightttt...

I like BlueSky I am not being attacked by bots. On X I made one post about how Trump should be voted off the Island of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20500. I was attacked by bots irate Trumpers for what seems like weeks. Buzz kill. Left twitter/X after that.

I had a Twitter account that I used for politics and criticism, but those bots and other porn bots attacked me because of a discussion I had with someone about Hitler's motives, and I was banned from the platform for a few weeks.. I abandoned that account after that.

as they should.
