Botanical Society of America (BSA) did a survey of members' social media use. There were only 246 responses (out of how many thousands?) and based on that they've put all their oomph into BlueSky.
Not just starting an account there but pooling invite codes to help people join BS. Disappointing. @plantscience#Botany#PlantScience

I tried Bluesky, but I didn't care for it. I like the Fediverse vibe more. I secretly hope that BS won't take off because I'm not really interested in Twitter clones. @plantscience
@ml@plantscience They'll be doing another survey soon enough, because the things that are good about BlueSky will not survive the transition out of invite-only mode.
@alexwild@plantscience Oh, I have no doubt folks who go for those billionaire-owned walled gardens will regret it, but in the meantime...they'll neglect building academic community in a place where they have more control over their own experience. Has a single scientific professional society started their own instance?
