Mastodawn

Until @altmetric.com starts tracking research output on Mastodon like it does on Bluesky, you're probably not going to see a big migration of researchers here. Just sayin'.

Then again, Altmetric doesn't track LinkedIn either, and on some days it feels like the most functional space for academics out of the three. 🤔

@alelazic @altmetric.com LinkedIn does seem to be the main platform for academics now and where research papers get most engagement, which is very unfortunate because LinkedIn makes you lose sanity points.

@m_correa_m Oh I agree, engagement is one of the key factors. I was surprised to see Academic LinkedIn become a thing though. Back when Academic Twitter was still alive, LinkedIn felt very much like an industry-only space. When I ditched X, I started posting there more too… but it still feels a bit surreal.
