Fedi exclusively. I’ll never trust a corporate/venture capital funded platform again. A profit motive immediately compromises their users even if they are well intended in the beginning.
Mastodon is great, but to make it even better for professional use it might help if something like the "top-links" in the "catch-up" (Beta) window of #phanpy (phanpy.social/ ) is the home page by default for all users. These top-links are sorted by the number of times boosted by the ones *you follow*. This could be useful for #science, to highlight most important developments (e.g. publications) in your network. Now you easily miss them, causing some colleagues to leave.

From what I've read on Mastodon, Bluesky is the new Nazi bar.
