I spent quite a bit of time on BlueSky for several months and found that if you’re a nobody there is close to no engagement. If you’re a somebody, the platform laps it up.

But on Mastodon the conversation flows irrespective of who you are.

I know where I’d rather be https://fediscience.org/@kathhayhoe/116065653289142235

For a long time, Twitter was the best place to share and find the latest science. Until the algorithm changed, that is. Overnight, my posts went from thousands to dozens of views, while the trolling I received skyrocketed. Instead of tens of hateful replies, I started getting thousands of them. Where were scientists supposed to go? I tried Mastodon, LinkedIn, and other platforms: but nothing really clicked. Then along came Bluesky. It takes a while to regrow a community: but a new survey of 830 scientists by @[email protected] and Julia Wester now finds that "for every reported professional benefit that scientists once gained from Twitter, scientists can now gain that benefit more effectively on Bluesky than on Twitter."

A German hacker known as "Martha Root" dressed as a pink Power Ranger and deleted a white supremacist dating website live onstage

This happened during the recent CCC conference.

Martha had infiltrated the site, ran her own AI chatbot to extract as much information from users as possible, and downloaded every profile. She also uncovered the owner of the site. She has published all of the data.
