I'd like to hear what people want out of #ScienceMastodon
To me, the best bit of Twitter has been learning and chatting about cool science; and hearing what my colleagues are up to. At it's best it's the poster session at a conference
But instead the algorithm gives you this toxic--but highly addictive--sludge
So I'd love to recreate the best bits of that here--I'd love to be able to come here and consistently learn from interesting people (and keep the existential doom elsewhere)
Thoughts?
@jkpritch Mastodon gives you the tools to craft your feed as you wish: follow hashtags, block keywords, prefer a language, create lists and circles, and so on. What’s not to like. With critical mass of scientists and academics moving over, this forum can become exactly what you want.
