- Are you aware of the current efforts by researchers on Bluesky to build a new researchers platform on ATProto? (Forget the project name at the moment)
If not, same handle over there, I can get you in touch with them. Or hit up Boris, he knows everyone and is happy to make connections
There's also a full day at the upcoming conference on ATProto & scientific related things. I think they com on discourse more (?)
- Ooh no, please do, but would love to hear more!
- Go chime in and share your work here: https://discourse.atprotocol.community/t/about-the-atproto-s...
That'll get us connected off HN
I think Cosmik is the group I was thinking of that has also put out some initial poc like yourself
- id also be curious to follow this if you have any links or resources
- This is probably a good jumping off point

- @criomsoneer: Check out Open Science Network (Bonfire), they are also doing interesting work in this space! https://openscience.network/
- Integrate them peer review process and you’ve got a disrupter
- Peer review should be disrupted, but doing peer review via social media is not the way to go.
- Has a bit of a leg up in that if it's only academics commenting, it would probably be way more usable than typical social media, maybe even outright good.
- Right? This is kind of the dream.
- Calling it peer review suggests gatekeeping. I suggest no gatekeepind just let any academic post a review, and maybe upvote/downvote and let crowdsourcing handle the rest.
- While I appreciate no gatekeeping, the other side of the coin is gatekeeping via bots (vote manipulation).
Something like rotten tomatoes could be useful. Have a list of "verified" users (critic score) in a separate voting column as anon users (audience score).
This will often serve useful in highly controversial situations to parse common narratives.
- Yes publishing is broken, but academics are the last people to jump onto platforms...they never left email. If you want to change the publishing game, turn publishing into email.
