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 This doesn't surprise me. Before the implosion of the bird site I went through and systematically unfollowed all my followers - out of 800ish followers about a 1/4 were obviously bots and another big chunk were accounts that were inactive...
