Comment on Scientists say X (formerly Twitter) has lost its professional edge — and Bluesky is taking its place
SweetCitrusBuzz@beehaw.org 1 week agoThe fediverse is hostile to ‘professionals’, and missing several features bluesky has, it is not a good replacement for them.
By ‘professionals’, do we mean Only Fans content creator? I haven’t tried hard enough to find them, but I assumed they’re here?
I follow many professional scientists and librarians on the Fediverse.
Beyond that - well those are the three professions that carry society.
I don’t see a ton of updates from plumbers and auto mechanics yet, but I think that is just adoption patterns at play?
People who want to run businesses through social media, Etsy sellers, artists for hire, youtubers, subreddits as a customer service avenue.
No, we meant all professionals, we have seen journalists and actors be attacked. We aren’t judging whether that was correct or not, just stating that is something which happens.

Couldn’t there be an association of professional societies that runs their own mastodon instance and can control membership and federation?

Sure, it would likely get very heavily defederated from or attacked, but it could happen.
