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)
replyIf 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!
replyGo chime in and share your work here: https://discourse.atprotocol.community/t/about-the-atproto-s...
replyThat'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
replyThis 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/
replyIntegrate them peer review process and you’ve got a disrupter
replyPeer review should be disrupted, but doing peer review via social media is not the way to go.
replyHas 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.
replyRight? This is kind of the dream.
replyCalling 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.
replyWhile I appreciate no gatekeeping, the other side of the coin is gatekeeping via bots (vote manipulation).
replySomething 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.
