Question

Scientists/Healthcare Community Leaving X/Twitter

Curious if anyone has seen a new platform emerge as a replacement for X, formerly Twitter, specifically among the science, research and healthcare community. I’m a social media manager for a cancer treatment and research institution and X is a big part of our social strategy. As Bluesky and Mastadon are growing in popularity, I would love to know if any healthcare or research organizations have made the switch and if you are seeing a growing community of users interested in science or medical content.

    I feel that LinkedIn will become a major player for those industries with the fall of Twitter/X but other alternatives are of course, Threads and I’m hearing positive things about link relevance with the BlueSky platform. 

     

    I feel LinkedIn is an excellent option because unlike many of these other less stable platforms, it’s here for the long haul and it’s the new standard for professional thought leadership on a variety of topics.

    For those of you who have adopted Bluesky, I’m excited to share that the integration is now live! I’ve shared more here:
