I'm not on Truth Social, but I'd like to see it merge with @bsky.app. I like to see what different groups think...

#academictwitter has now moved to @bsky.app. But let's hope that Bluesky doesn't become too much of a "safe space". Academics should be comfortable with dissenting ideas, including hearing from people they may find politically detestable. Academics shouldn't be so fragile.
