@arstechnica and some bridge their Bluesky account into the Fédiverse with a simple "follow" on @ap.brid.gy 😁

@arstechnica there's no such a thing as #AcademicMastodon. Unfortunately. It seems to me even that there's a trend that academics leave the #Fediverse, in favor of #Bluesky very likely. At least there is an increasing number of inactive profiles.

@arstechnica Following the "cool kids" is how we got Xitter et al. Guess we'll never learn.

They'll learn slower. But just wait until the enshittifacion starts on Bluesky.

Everybody knows Bluesky is the same centralized sh*t in a different color. But 1 million flies can't be wrong, can they?

mastodon is the way to go.

@arstechnica You'd think academics and scientists would know better and embrace an open platform, given their field's history with electronic communications, instead of going for the hype.
