Time for the first ever toot!

Apple custard, because it's fall and we all deserve the cardamom, cinnamon creamy apples.

Trying to figure out how to get an archive from Twitter to get this profile off the ground a little faster.

@tiffanycli also a good time to add your Mastodon address to your Twitter bio so your home here is discoverable.

It might be a good time to run #Debirdify or #Fedifinder one last time to find all the folks you were following or followed by on #Twitter who are now here on #Mastodon.

#RIPTwitter #TwitterMigration

Not that I don't love everyone who has come here on #MedMastodon but someone has to drag Dr. Sam Ghali (@EM_RESUS on Twitter) over here. It would be a huge loss not to have his weekly #FOAMed and #ECG cases.

I'm just a lab tech that had to do ECGs at my last job and I learned SO much from his tweets. I actually can tell when things are wrong now and can identify certain conditions. He's brilliant.

Someone has to have an in with him.

Hi #IDMastodon & #MedMastodon 👋🏻! I’m Beatrice, an ID doctor from Australia currently doing a #ICH fellowship at the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre and the National Centre for Infections in Cancer 🦠👩🏻‍⚕️. I love viruses, fungi, the immune system, memes, dogs, figure skating, and the Oxford comma 🧫🐶⛸. My handle is BeaCereus because this is my serious feed 🥁.

Is there anybody...out there

I’m liking Mastodon so far. But the downward spiral of Twitter is tough to watch. Twitter has been an essential source of information, organizing, and community for millions of people around the world and destroying it is a disaster that should not be allowed to happen.

Happy to connect here as professor, lab director, educator, and researcher. My lab (Brain, Education, and Mind - BEAM) studies the development and difficulties of language and literacy. Our methods include #neuroimaging (#fMRI) as well as #assessments. As a professor, I train future clinicians to understand students and identify areas of strength and challenge, especially relative to specific tasks. #introduce #introductionpost

Hey #SfN / #SfN22 / #SfN2022 people!

If you missed my post-7-hour-drive exhausted and crusty Saturday night poster presentation, you have another chance to come see it on Wednesday afternoon! Poster L11 (opiod section) 3-4pm!

Come find me! I'll be less tired!!

Also please send me a message if you'd like to meet up at Society for Neuroscience!

The thing about Twitter is that it really lacks a lot of the features you'd expect from a true Mastodon replacement.

For example, there's no way to edit your toots (which they, confusingly call "tweets"—let's face it, it's a bit of a silly name that's difficult to take seriously).

"Tweets" can't be covered by a content warning. There's no way to let the poster know you like their tweet without also sharing it, and no bookmark feature.

There's no way to set up your own instance, and you're basically stuck on a single instance of Twitter. That means there's no community moderators you can reach out to to quickly resolve issues. Also, you can't de-federate instances with a lot of problematic content.

It also doesn't Integrate with other fediverse platforms, and I couldn't find the option to turn the ads off.

Really, Twitter has made a good start, but it will need to add a lot of additional features before it gets to the point where it becomes a true Mastodon replacement for most users.

Sharing some #Mastodon tips for #TwitterMigration people.

1- you don't need to follow people here one by one like at Twitter. If go to preferences and on the page it takes you to go to follows and followers?

There's an option above the list of people to follow all.

I usually swit to my mutuals first.

I consider it a success to have gotten a profile picture uploaded over here!
