I have the feeling that this #Nature paper is motivating even more #scientists to quit #X than all #Musk's decisions over one year.

So many of my colleagues are now joining other social networks... 🤣

@AlexSanterne @academicchatter And how many of them are moving to a platform which is, irrespective of any declaimed differences of principle, based on the identical model: opaque, VC funded, ultimately responsible only to whoever holds the most shares?

@pieist @academicchatter I see many moving to BlueSky... which will end up to be just like Twitter.

@AlexSanterne @pieist @academicchatter Hmm, I haven't sought out a Bluesky account, just heard about it in passing. Does it actually have multiple instances, or is that just promised Real Soon Now? Do they cede any control to a centralized authority?
