“Thousands of scientists are cutting back on Twitter, seeding angst & uncertainty.”
That survey with only a 5% response rate went viral & got me wondering about other evidence & how the #ScienceTwitter#MastodonMigration was panning out.
tl;dr There's been a big recent surge here; the future of #ScienceMastodon looks bright; ScienceX is materially diminished tho the network is still there.
@hildabast The decentralized systems of Mastodon are still confusing to me. I have several friends who 'just make another account' to be also able to write in their national language, for example. Migration of accounts between Mastodon servers proof to be a pain overall. And then there's people who thought it would be nice to run a server. But it wasn't. So they pulled the plug.
Hilda. Loved your blog on Mastodon and science. I hope you won't mind me summarizing it in my daily news podcast Hashtag Trending. Can we talk about doing an interview with you for my weekend interview podcast? I found this fascinating and I think my readers might as well.
You can reach me on Mastodon of course, or at my work email which I confess I do check more regularly.
