- Academic Paper: Why Academics Are Leaving Twitter for Bluesky (arxiv.org)
Researchers Dorian Quelle, Frederic Denker, Prashant Garg and Alexandre Bovet report that scholar migration from Twitter/X to Bluesky is driven by peer influence, with simple rather than complex contagion. They linked 276,431 scholars on Twitter/X to their new profiles among 16.7 million Bluesky accounts, tracked from January 2023 to December 2024. Using Brazil's court-ordered suspension of Twitter/X as exogenous variation, they find treatment effects are short-lived and dose-dependent. Adoption concentrates among users deeply embedded in Twitter's social graph, public political expression predicts migration, and early reconnection with prior contacts predicts longer tenure on Bluesky.
