> The death of scientific twitter, and the failure to establish any replacement

In my field it's mostly in LinkedIn now.

Can you say what field that is? I hear this sometimes, but my feed there is significantly low signal to noise, and I have had to pollute my “connections” to the point where I accept everything, as I have been trying to advertise job openings using it too (which frankly has been pretty poor too).

My field now is Earth observation/geoinformatics and my recent connections are mostly academics and applied programmers. Also, mostly Europe-based and very few in the US. My feed is mainly about new papers, conferences, tools, webinars etc..

I used to do corporate software dev and my feed (and work) back then wasn't that interesting. I barely used the site.
