    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)<p>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<p>There&#x27;s also a full day at the upcoming conference on ATProto &amp; scientific related things. I think they com on discourse more (?)

    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&#x27;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&#x2F;downvote and let crowdsourcing handle the rest.

        While I appreciate no gatekeeping, the other side of the coin is gatekeeping via bots (vote manipulation).<p>Something like rotten tomatoes could be useful. Have a list of &quot;verified&quot; users (critic score) in a separate voting column as anon users (audience score).<p>This will often serve useful in highly controversial situations to parse common narratives.
