Interesting article by @hildabast on the big Mastodon migration, and more specifically about academics, scholars migrating from twitter to science mastodon instances.
@adriana_heguy @hildabast On my side I keep the bird alive at least for some time.
Two reasons:
• I'm communicating about natural hazards, earthquakes, risks, and the general public is not (yet) here. There have been some discussions about the loss of link between the public and scientists on these subject. I agree it's an important issue.
• Also I want to see what happens to the bird...
@adriana_heguy @RobinLacassin I'm using it to promote Mastodon, acclimate people to it, & let people know where to find me. I'm presuming at this stage that at some point, I'll leave a note saying I'm gone.
@RobinLacassin @hildabast I thought about science comms there, you do have a point and I think you’re brave. I just didn’t have the stomach anymore; keep us posted!
