4 days ago“sciency people” is a huge community, I think even within computer science (which is not a science), each community have their own perferred platform.
Algorithm, foundation, and automata theory people often don’t have social media or on mailing lists; more foundational fields like programming language people often perfer Mastodon; more flushy system, network, and security people often are on bluesky; AI/ML people, of course, are often found on xitter.
I think this is already done in most part of computer science. In my field, Springer has very little shares left, and is actively being replaced by ACM and Schloss Dagstuhl, which are not only both non-profit but all open access.
