Mainly I just want something larger, old twitter had broad and deep perspectives from so many people; it felt like a reasonable cross-section of the world's social-media-engaging population both within and outside academia. Bluesky is narrow and shallow in comparison.

To be clear, quant research can be super flawed and limited, and qual research can open our eyes to ways in which our quant measures, research questions, and study designs should be improved. But the best qualitative research is still extraordinarily limited epistemologically.

I feel like even 10 years ago scientists on social media were slightly more immune to ingroup and confirmation type biases than others. But those days seem over: increasingly there is implicit agreement on what beliefs/conclusions are acceptable, and skepticism and evidence are applied accordingly.
