Kudos to the #Netherlands.

"Dutch universities published 82% of their peer-reviewed scientific publications #OpenAccess in 2021. This is an increase of nine percentage points compared to 2020."

Little experiment comparing activity on #Mastodon and #Twitter.

One hour ago, I posted the Dutch news above (previous item in this thread) at the same time to my personal accounts on #Mastodon and #Twitter. Here's what happened in that hour:

* Mastodon, 24 favorites, 12 boosts

* Twitter, 12 likes, 6 retweets

That's nearly twice as much engagement on Mastodon. But I have more than 23 times more followers on Twitter than Mastodon.

@petersuber For me, it varies a lot, but I'm getting noticeable response here. In my public domain series, I think I saw more response here on my post on Willa Cather (not a huge amount, but more than I saw on Twitter). But so far I'm seeing more response (albeit mostly likes & RTs rather than replies) on Twitter than on here for yesterday's post on Sherlock Holmes.
