Scientists flow to Bluezki

Per PER Shiffman and Wester, “an overwhelming majority” of the respondents said that Bluesky has a “vibrant and healthy and healthy online science”, while he was no longer Twitter. Many Bluesky users have reported more uproar for their bike, if it is permissible to speak, on Bluesky. They may have fewer followers, but these followers are more involved: a person with 50,000 followers may get Twitter/X, for example, five admiration in a specific post; But on Bluesky, they may only have 5,000 followers, but their posts will get 100 likes.

According to Chefman, Twitter always used to be in the first three places in terms of referral movement for jobs on South Fried Science. Then came “Muskification”, and suddenly the TWTTER referrals were broken the top ten. On the contrary, in 2025 until now, Bluesky pushed “a hundred times in the number of views of the page” to Southern Fried Science like Twitter. Ironically, ” Blog post “This has happened most of the page’s views of Twitter is one about this paper,” Shevman said.

Connor McKinnerny, Social media director at ARS, confirmed that ARS Technica has also witnessed a steady decline in the movement of Twitter referral so far in 2025. Moreover, “I can say in the narrative point of view that during the summer, we saw the traffic in Bluesky starting to overcome traffic on Twitter for the first time,” Mcinerney said, which is attributed to a group of factors. “We have often published on the platform, and our fans have grown greatly. According to my estimation, our fans grew by 63 percent since January. The platform has generally grown a lot also – they had 10 million users in September last year, and this month indicates that they are in 38 million users.

Bubble, Schmubble

As for scientists looking to share scientific papers online, SHIFFMAN pulled Altmetrics statistics for his new paper. He said: “It is indeed one of the 10 most common papers in the history of that magazine on social media,” where 14 arrows on Twitter/X VS have made a thousand shares on Bluesky (starting at 4 pm on August 20). “If the goal shows that there is a more active academic academic conversation on Blues – I mean, curse,” he said.

While there was a constant DrumbEat from the assumptions somewhat late Ancient media Bluesky’s accusation of being trapped in his liberal bubble, Shevman, for one, has little concerns about it. “I don’t care about this, because I do not use social media to argue with strangers about politics.” books In his accompanying blog publication. “I use social media to talk about fish. When I talk about fish on Bluesky, people ask me questions about fish. When I talk about fish on Twitter, people threaten to kill my family because we are Jews.” The current incarnation of Twitter compared it as better than 4chant or Reactocial in terms of the percentage of “extremists exposed to conspiracy” in the public. “Even if you want to stay, the algorithm is working against you,” he wrote.

“There was a lot of opinion about the reason why Bluesky was not useful because people there tend to be relatively left -wing tendencies,” Shevman told ARS. “I haven’t seen any of these people themselves saying that Twitter is bad because it tends relatively. Twitter is not a representative sample for the public as well.” Given its focus on preserving the oceans and data -based environmental calls, it is possible that it will find a more involved and persuasive audience in Bluesky.
