We should take this as an opportunity to ask — WHY?
And — how could we improve things on the Fediverse to be attractive to scientists?
...
BTW, I was part of Science-Twitter, back when I used to be active on Twitter. And, wanted to be part of a Science-Fedi, too.
So, this affected me, too.

kinda tired of these conversations until they are a self sustainable community. it's not a fair fight when we're trying to attract users and support for development while they are running on VC money to become more awesome and not yet having to impose any costs on their users. of course we look much worse while this is the case. and of course like every other VC project, they will try to maintain this ramp until we look like a completely unacceptable alternative. ugh.
@[email protected] @[email protected] I would say that you can't draw a conclusion based on that survey alone.
Unless I skimmed incorrectly, that survey was asking whether respondents preferred X/Twitter or BlueSky, and their sentiments toward professional development, support, etc.
It does not seem like Mastodon or other federated networks were part of the survey, so you cannot infer that Mastodon did not rank, as it was not an option.
