@cl-user followed you back!
I like Bluesky. It feels like a pleasant place. I’m scaling back social media to just rapamycin news and Bluesky. ….its a longevity maneuver.

I set up a blue sky account some time ago, but am not currently persuaded to spend a lot of time on yet another communication system.

EDIT:
This is great because the accounts are small enough now that it’s easy to find more of you, and other people to follow, through checking out the follows and followers… just found John H that way.

I primarily use Twitter to follow thousands of scientists who work in the longevity field, or longevity biotech field. I’m finding many of them are moving to BlueSky:
‘A place of joy’: why scientists are joining the rush to Bluesky
Researchers say the social-media platform — an alternative to X — offers more control over the content they see and the people they engage with.

Perhaps this will make it easier to find them all, I really hate the thought of having to recreate the list of people to follow:

Network effects are really hard to fight against, that is the key issue in every new social network. Look at how much money google poured into the area before they gave up…
A new paper:
Research posts on Bluesky are more original — and get better engagement
Bluesky posts about science garner more likes and reposts than similar ones on X.
Posts about research on Bluesky receive substantially more attention than similar posts on X, formerly called Twitter, according to the first large-scale analysis of science content on Bluesky1. The results suggest that Bluesky users engage with posts more than do users of X.
Bluesky has more than 38 million users and shares many features with X, which fell out of favour with some scientists when it was bought by entrepreneur Elon Musk in October 2022. A survey of Nature readers earlier this year suggested that many prefer Bluesky over X to discuss and disseminate their work.
A team of researchers from the United Kingdom and China analysed 2.6 million Bluesky posts published from January 2023 to July 2025. Together, these referenced 532,000 academic articles. The results were posted as a preprint on arXiv last month and have not been peer reviewed.

Bluesky’s science takeover: 70% of Nature poll respondents use platform
Roughly 6,000 readers answered our poll, with many declaring that Bluesky was nicer, kinder and less antagonistic to science than X.

This is great to see because I haven’t been on since many of us started following each other there a few months back. I’ll now know to go on more often!
Many of us once shared our accounts… I’d love to follow more people on here, so if you haven’t and are willing, please share your account names
