If you are also joining the #twitterMigration then you may want to download a copy of your twitter data (go to “Settings” → “Your Account” → “Download an archive of your data”). As a data point, it took three days for my archive to appear. I don’t know if it will take longer as lots of people do this.

"Even if academic Twitter ends up largely moving to Mastodon, the big question is whether the general public will move there, too, allowing scientists to communicate with more than just each other. “When I tweet, I’m talking to my neighbor and the person in the grocery store and the teenager who is thinking about studying science in college,” Fiesler says. “That’s the beauty of scientists on social media.”

Paxlovid reduces risk of Long Covid (preprint)
Nirmatrelvir and the Risk of Post-Acute Sequelae of COVID-19 | medRxiv

@rchusid Finally, some research looking into Paxlovid and long covid! Thank you for sharing this. The harsh rebound people were reporting after taking Paxlovid made me wonder if it would increase the risk of long covid because people might want to "push through" it instead of rest with Paxlovid on board. These results look promising. #MedMastodon
@jeremysayz @freemo in a way, I feel like a lot of bullying and harassment happens on twitter in clusters/cliques... social circles that stick together. So maybe it'll not be much different, except for the fact that there's actual moderation here.
@Krassenstein Hi there! I'm @BrittGratreak over on twitter, where I spend a lot of time on #DisabilityTwitter and #MedTwitter. I'm a disabled MD/PhD student studying pain and memory. I've completed 2 of 4 years of medical school and I'm in my second year of my PhD in neuroscience. Once I finish my PhD it's back to med school for clinical stuff! I'm probably going to specialize in neurology, because we need more TBI survivors as physicians. 💪🧠 #TwitterMigration #MedMastodon
@nick I have a nooby question. How can I make sure I'm "plugged in" to #MedMastodon if my home server is on Qoto? 😳 I can see your post because I follow you, but I'm not sure how to see everyone else's?

For some reason during this exodus, at least as far as QOTO is concerned, I've noticed a very large portion of people coming in are women scientists. Sadly women seem to be a minority representation in STEM, so seeing this makes me happy as I think women bring a lot to STEM communities.
That said, I am left curious why... what about this exodus has more women in STEM migrating than usual.. Is musk in some way seen as more abrasive to women than he is to men?
@jeremysayz @freemo I did find Twitter to be oddly hostile. A lot of weird comments on appearance, a lot of weird creepy dms. I am very new to mastodon but I hope it is better here.
@sparklez I'm in a similar boat. I feel like we're all drifting in space and only randomly bumping into each other. Not sure where to start or if I choose the right "home" server or whatever... 😳
