From Axios:

"Several Twitter alternatives are emerging but it’s not clear which, if any, will become the new platform of choice for scientists.

Experts often point to Mastodon, Bluesky and Meta’s planned Twitter rival as possible options. Many scientists have been publishing elsewhere for a while on platforms like Substack.

Caballero suggested the future may be in a “decentralized” social media platform that mirrors the distribution model of podcasts, which have platforms such as Spotify and Apple."

    I’ve been seeing more and more credible journalists and scientists popping up on Mastodon. No idea if that’s a wider trend or just my limited experience.
