Agree that blue sky is the new science twitter. Though I still feel like I get a lot more chat on mastodon (though not necessarily as much from other scientists). It probably helps that I'm on the fediscience server there.
STUDY: “Results show that for every reported professional benefit that scientists once gained from Twitter, scientists can now gain that benefit more effectively on Bluesky than on Twitter.”

Bluesky is run by American tech bros, so it is likely inevitable that it will see the same fate as other American tech companies. I'm hedging my bets about Bluesky. I really recommend Fediscience as a place to join. Lots of interesting scientists posting about science! fediscience.org/about

Oh well, it's ok-ish. The conversion into the GIF format is indeed not bad. (Need to look into the Fediscience-DB how big it actually is. My "raw" material was already downsampled to ~500 kB.)
Still, perhaps a long term goal would be a peertube setup with comments and voice over instructions.

Even being lucky enough to land on Fediscience on first go, I couldn't deal with the nonsense people got over wanting basic functionality like, you know, search.
I'm fine with new platforms needing time to build stuff, but not moral opposition to ever building stuff that most people probably want.

Maybe bridge both, follow your own accounts, & then continue posting on Bluesky while boosting those posts on Fedi? Maybe also remove the underscore from your name on the Fediscience account so that search "Mark Ungrin" finds you there?
