Bastian Greshake TzovarasI guess it's great that 46% of scientists have joined other social-media platforms following Twitters self-destruction (though lol, for LinkedIn being the 2nd most frequently joined one š). But only 7% have stopped using Twitter altogether? That's quite depressing!
Michael Baudis@gedankenstuecke Especially for organizations it is a slow process and then it becomes a šš£problem. But e.g. just back from an ELIXIR call: There are at least plansā¦
@mbaudis yeah, though Iād argue exactly no one is on any social media to primarily follow institutional accounts. Itās a nice-have if they are there, but I doubt thereās a lot of people that would say āif only academic institution/organization X was on this Iād make an accountā.
@gedankenstuecke Thatās mixed; youāre obv. not interested in your own institutions (we have enough channels for that, thank you very much); the more distant ones may deliver interesting pointers. BUT it is good to get tracked / amplified by your own affiliations.
@mbaudis I don't know, maybe for comparatively small institutions that's the case, but the larger/more established places virtually all just use social media as a way to push their press releases et al.
