Hello, I can also recommend posting on a Mastodon instance. There is no algorithmic promotion of posts or accounts, which means you have to work a bit more to find interesting people to follow, but the reward is generally nicer, with more genuine interactions (since all the "popularity contest" features are either absent or not prominently displayed, like the metrics of answers, reposts, stars, etc.). Speaking of, Dave, did you mean at_fediscience_dot_org for this last instance? Many people seem to have moved to bluesky, but I would not recommend posting there if your goal is for your posts to be visible beyond your peers in your field: having an account is mandatory to see any content on bluesky (without an account, one only sees the login page), and at the moment new accounts can only be registered with an invitation from an already existing account.

Dear colleagues, I take advantage of Tim's message about the fact that responsible people have resigned from X. I really enjoyed Twitter (which I discovered rather late) because it was a great tool for announcing news from my laboratory, but also for keeping abreast of recent publications or pre-publications related to my research interests. I notice that many scientists have deserted X in recent months. Can anyone suggest user-friendly alternatives used by the scientific communities to announce recent publications or news in their fields?
