I have noticed that some academics have moved from #X to #Bluesky. Do you think Bluesky will be beneficial for #academics and #scholars in the long run? Just in case, I have signed up:

Let's see how it goes… Personally, I find #Mastodon to be the best choice at the moment for many reasons.
@clausatz I really like Mastodon you are in full control of everything if you want.
You can select a server and change it if you don't like there policy or install one on your own.
And Mastodon is not controlled by any cooperation trying to sell you something or sell your user data to make profit.
@Xanatos Bluesky promises all that and more, though.
Bluesky lets you change servers but also lets you pick and choose functionality from other providers even in combination with whatever server.
And it makes it much more functional to change servers as you kind of own your account beyond the server.
@volkris@qoto.org @Xanatos@mastodon.gamedev.place @clausatz@hci.social promises maybe but doesn't really currently do. It remains an extremely centralized system with no alternative to the corporate run official service for many components (and only basically single-user scale ones for the rest)
