Just a note for those who say, "but who knows which way bluesky heads in the future - it might become as bad as X": Indeed, but freedom includes the capacity to leave a network when it is no longer tolerable - as we just demonstrate with that hate speech place.

For now, I am there and also here on mastodon.

Like others, I am often tempted to amplify the outrage about the awful things happening in US politics ... and also elsewhere.

But let me join those who think that this might not help.

IMHO, our response should be the amplification of positive acts of resistance. There are lots of opportunities.

Is it just me or is there a generic reason why pixelfed.social is so extremely slow to be hardly usable? Seems to be independent of how I access it.

I have no clue who these "ease" people are, but they just sent me an e-mail. As a journal editor, I find absolutely everything in their message deeply revolting:

No I have no need for a "competitor analysis" - I'd rather like to work with other editors and journals in order to improve scientific publishing.

For me, our journal's "performance" is the quality and amount of service we can give to our authors. This will never be perfect, but I seriously doubt it is the same understanding of "performance" that these guys try to assess.

I have some view about the performance of similar journals and it would be great if editors could talk more about this - without getting into "competition" about anything else than scientific quality and academic values.

Hell, I actually have some "insight in my subject area", if not, then I would not be editing this journal. Who are you to try and lecture me about this?

Our journal has an audience and a community which needs to be nurtured all the time - but not by putting it into competition with similar communities.

And this person on the photo, looking away from the camera - is this somehow a symbolic picture of an editor who is completely lost in the struggle for higher "performance"?

My dearest Belinda, if you REALLY care so much for me and you also really believe that I should write something (this time) about "psycho-oncology", why do you change your e-mail every time you write to me? You are not trying to run around my spam filters, do you?

One COULD ski today in the Southern Vercors mountains, the snow is there, but you would be in very dense fog.
