Scientists are moving from Twitter/X to Bluesky, drawn by its simpler design and less aggressive algorithms. 🧬
Still, Mastodon offers stronger privacy and open-source values, making it a better alternative for many. 🔒
Why not choose Mastodon? 🤔
Healthy, respectful science communication needs better social platforms. 🌐

When your home is a temple
Some of the temples and pagodas in Cambodia are marvels of intrinsic details. Sometimes the cohabitants are, too. Like this one at Wat Sampov at Phnom Sampov/Phnom Sampeau near Battambang.
The monkeys at most of these temple sites are peaceful. They are adjusted to be relatively safe and have access to food and water. But they are also nosy and cheeky, and any seasoned traveller know to keep their belongings, food and water well contained or hidden around these rascals. They will try to steal anything they fancy from the humans.
And never, ever feed the monkeys. It reduces their ability to hunt and gather their own food, leads to malnutrition, and they become more aggressive and can be dangerous towards humans.
Challenging small gene pools
Another challenge for these monkeys is the small number of members in some of the temple groups. That is causing some problems with inbreeding due to limited gene pools.
We are talking severe Habsburgian jaw and bulbous lips, to use a European reference to tragedy and disaster when science is absent. I have personally observed this inbreeding problem to have become lesser over the last few years. Hopefully it means the caretaking of these cultural heritage sites improves. Including for the animals.
The monkeys also ad personality to the visits to the temple, and scale to photos taken there. I would miss having them around, if they were to disappear from the temple grounds.

Ponderings…
I left Twitter and Meta because of toxicity.
I get the same kind of feelings on opening up Bluesky (which is rare in itself).
Perhaps time to ditch Bluesky…

Beneath this haunted expanse lies the Ironwell, a deep chasm that houses the remains of the Iron Empire, an ancient civilization whose last king sealed his soul into the land, creating a weapon of unending vengeance.
