Great advice here, if just want science, no drama, no politics, no hot takes:

My favorite side project these days: Analyzing the Bluesky Science community (with @mkeyoung.bsky.social). Just finished a write-up of an angle not explored until now: A look at the most popular posts from the most influential network members. Lots of examples and some funky graphics—fun to explore!

So happy to share another update of the growing network of scientists & researchers on Bluesky. ~18k science enthusiasts! With @mkeyoung.bsky.social ✨ See the 100 most influential ones 📊 Explore the interactive visualization 📄 Dive into our methodology lassehjorthmadsen.github.io/blueskyanaly...

The community of scientists and science-lovers is gathering on Bluesky, it seems. Have a look at lassehjorthmadsen.github.io/blueskyanaly...

🌍 We have just extracted a NEW global network of researchers and a global 100 scientist top ‘influencers’ on Bluesky. @lassehjorthmadsen.bsky.social and I show that scientists are in a series of distinct communities: mikeyoungacademy.dk/communities-... 😀 All 'likes' and reshares appreciated!

Do you link people together on BlueskySocial who don't know each other yet? 🤔 A key part of science is linking people for jobs, research, and collaboration. 'Triadic closure' in my latest blog post #ScienceEthics @lassehjorthmadsen.bsky.social mikeyoungacademy.dk/ethics-part-... #moralphil

🌟 My research with @lassehjorthmadsen.bsky.social on Bluesky Social's 'most influential' researchers has been featured by Norwegian news platform Khrono 🌟 www.khrono.no/se-hvem-som-...

Together with @mkeyoung.bsky.social, I had a first go at establishing and analysing a Bluesky network of researchers. Have a look at the top-100 list of most influential researchers, and the mesmerising 3d-visualisation here: lassehjorthmadsen.github.io/blueskyanaly...

We have generated a new graph and list for Bluesky Social which shows where the scientists are congregating, and what research communities are being shaped! mikeyoungacademy.dk/a-global-net... Check out @lassehjorthmadsen.bsky.social 's Github here: lassehjorthmadsen.github.io/blueskyanaly...

Friends, I wrote up a quick guide to getting started on Bluesky for folks who are used to old Science Twitter. Please share it with your folks who are joining. And please let me know if I missed anything or got anything wrong. 🧪 www.southernfriedscience.com/bluesky-is-n...

Spent some time working with the Blue Sky Social API recently and having a lot of fun. Especially when comparing to the costly X API that overpromise and underdeliver.

To everyone who wonder why I just followed them: Together with @mkeyoung.bsky.social I'm researching how professional networks form on social media. I might follow or unfollow a large number of users from time to time. Feel free to follow back; will post updates on the project.
