I really enjoy the science and climate community here and I would love for it to grow. If you’re still on X, why not use it to invite people to come over here? I do, every week! RT if you agree 😁 - ThreadSky

I've tried a few times.

leovanlierop.bsky.social•289 days ago

Could you make a list here on Bleusky as well?

Yes, I’m planning to!

🙂👍

I have been doing this on a more personal level for foreign policy experts and reporters as well as scientists. They are amazingly sticky over there. polisky 🧪

cherylrofer.bsky.social•289 days ago

Another suggestion: Like and repost them if they do show up!

It's very hard to get people to move as long as brands, companies and wide-reaching influencers don't do it. And they don't do it because they see their audience and engagement there. Catch 22.

It's a numbers game. With more people on X, there's more annoyance but more engagement with it. I think many like the idea of bsky, but don't have a driver to change over.

peiferlabunc.bsky.social•288 days ago

Done!

Here now, thanks to your post on X. Thank you.

katharinehayhoe.com•289 days ago

I’m so glad to hear that. Thank you!

head-in-the-clouds.bsky.social•289 days ago

Need some training though! Any tips?

katharinehayhoe.com•289 days ago

Look for some good feeds to follow.

Scroll through the people I follow to see if any of them interest you and then look for some other people to do the same.

Comment, reply, and engage!

Is there an easy transfer from X of accounts that I already follow? Spent years picking up people to follow and one of the reasons for resisting the move was having to “start again”. So tired of the bots now though.

katharinehayhoe.com•289 days ago

I don’t think there is a fool proof way to find everyone because account names could be different. but here is one way that will help at least a bit. Apparently it even has a chrome plug-in. I need to do it myself!

On a Chromium or Firefox browser, there's the Skyfollowerbridge that will help.

Thank you for doing so !

emily.space•289 days ago

I was doing this but I think my account is hated by the algorithm at this point, nothing I post gets seen much anymore 😭 I RT'd you though! That's a good ad!

alang64.bsky.social•288 days ago

It's the same for me, you refute a post and it's like screaming into the void.

manelcamacho.bsky.social•289 days ago

The twitter algorithm? Do you think they might be filtering? 🤔

dgoldman.bsky.social•289 days ago

Maybe if I were more connected to the science community over here. Academics are still a little bit cliquey and hard to network with.

grissallia.bsky.social•288 days ago

OH! I was missing your voice from the bad place!

I would feel like a hypocrite participating on Twitter at this point. I understand people wanting to fight their perception of the Good Fight, but I don't have the level of masochism that would be required for me to do it on that platform.

digitaldraco.bsky.social•288 days ago

I invite people all the time. Nobody cares. They're too attached to their followers and it's a feedback loop of people staying keeping other people staying.

fatraccoon.bsky.social•289 days ago

Can we just call it Troll-X?

shireenj.bsky.social•289 days ago

When I get the energy (ie finish editing my novel), I plan on writing a goodbye thread on Twitter. I’ll keep my account as I don’t want someone else claiming the handle after all my history there. Emily’s post would be good to use in my thread. Great idea!

Hoping for LaTeX equations to arrive here soon 😉

danam.bsky.social•289 days ago

Worked with me. Now what ?

I agree to repost this. I left the bird before #ElonMusk fouled it by turning it into #X but #Twitter when I was there had anything from CCP agents that harassed or targeted Chinese that didn't tow the party line to delusional Maga types & fake science accounts. Will tag scientists I follow ...
