    I feel like scientists should move towards open source solutions … I feel like most scientists are smart enough to launch a mastodon server, but well.

      Most scientists aren’t allowed to do stuff like that, or purely just don’t have the time.

        What… Are you taking about? I know hundreds of scientists and the vast majority of them interact with social media just as much as normal people.

      Never meet your heroes. If a scientist is human, they’re as fallible as any other. Just like some teachers aren’t there because they’re passionate. Some legitimately are bad if you ever had parent teacher conferences. Not passion nor intelligence saves you from making poor choices
