Mildly notable social media moment for me watching a Dr Becky video on YT.
In listing her “socials” she’s got #TikTok , #Instagram and #Threads (and of course #youtube ).

Is this the new central axis of social media?
Which is funny cuz I’ve never really been to *any* of those. No accounts and only visited IG a few times because something else linked there for some information.
Also, I didn’t really notice Threads was succeeding.
Love Dr Becky and would love to see her join fediverse. Might be worth dropping a comment on one of her videos

Yea for sure. I’m not enough of YouTuber to use an account and comment though.
Plus I get the feeling that the astrophysics community kinda bounced off of the fediverse. But definitely worth a try.
I post about [email protected] a bunch on mastodon hopefully to get some excitement from astrophysics folks, there’s tons of cool boinc projects doing astrophysics research. Science runs on twitter, and many scientists are desperately searching for an alternative, imo it’s only a matter of time before they all end up on mastodon or nostr.
