Coming up on 9 million posts sharing research directly on @bsky.app since we started tracking in Dec 2024.
These continue to be comically high levels of engagement. Nice to see the academic community came here and stayed here.
(Some posts are bridged from mastodon too, essentially cross-posts.)

To start, I look back at "Flatten the Curve" as an example of media convergence in action. It prompts us to be allies and supporters when we can't control the conversation.
