Pretty wild how important social media is for some people.. We seem now to be at the level of public school DARE officer lecture. Everything else aside, its just amazing how much things have changed, how alien this sentiment would seem if transported back even like 15 years..

"I have been groomed into joining the social media platform of the ruling aristocracy!" This is odd right? Or am I out of touch? There just seems prima facie to be more important things to care about, but maybe I am just an old man now.

It all just feels like some ominous prelude to 15 years from now where twitter accounts are compulsory and we all get food stamps based on retweets or something..





> This is odd right?

It is. If anything, it reads like sour grapes over their tribe picking a different place to socialize.

Maybe this is controversial, but I think socializing should be a pleasant experience. If a social space doesn't pass a vibe check, find someplace else where you feel more comfortable. If these scientists feel more comfortable on BlueSky, more power to them.
