Interesting thread by @altmetric.com comparing research mentions on Bluesky vs Twitter
Respect to the science community on Bluesky! 💪🧪
And we’re just getting started with the broader @atproto.science ecosystem - will be cool to check back on these data at the end of 2026 🚀

ATProto is a post-app protocol trapped in a world of apps. I can feel it all around the edges of the network.

Hello atmosphere ! Over the last few weeks, a bunch of us have been collaborating on a new set of lexicons for publishing, indexing, and building out social features across long-form reading and writing apps ! 🧵1/7
Standard.site - One schema. Every platform.
Standard.site provides shared lexicons for long-form publishing on AT Protocol. Making content easier to discover, index, and move across the ATmosphere.

I've been noodling on this since last summer and since then a lot of pieces have come together to make this possible. Let's walk thru it!

1. My new preprint has its own bluesky account. Why? The problems facing social media & scientific publishing are similar: both are dominated by powerful oligopolies. The @atproto.com tech underlying bluesky that aims to solve the social media prob might also help solve the scientific pub prob 🧪 🧵

People are misunderstanding what happened here. They mostly did not go back to twitter. They went to linkedin or substack or threads nowhere and so interesting technical conversations simply didn't happen that could have.
Lots of people tried to reconstruct the ML/AI/stats community over here. 90% of them left because the random abuse they got for just posting ordinary research results was too much.
