On #scienceTwitter, my favourite thing were reading and, on rare occasions, writing "paper/preprint threads". From the researchers I followed and through the #Twitter algorithm, this became my most important source for new #research.
While people start to do the same on #Mastodon, I have the feeling that I miss important work bc no algorithm "saves" it for me if I don't watch my timeline constantly.
Two simple solutions would be: a commonly accepted hashtag that everybody uses when writing "paper threads" or a [...] @ a.gup.pe group with a similar adaptation rate.
#Question 1: is there already a mechanism for this that I missed?
#Question 2: What hashtag or group name?
I saw #TootPrint before. Maybe #PaperInAToot? #PaperInAPost? #PaperInAThread? #PaperPost? #MastoPrint?
Suggestions and boosts, please, we need reach for this! 🤓

I agree, this is one of the main things I found useful about "Science Twitter". I like #MastoPrint, and also suggest #PaperThread.
For neuro paper threads: sigmoid.social/about/more has already claimed #PaperThread and #NewPaper (the latter announcing a paper without a thread) for the AI community. I enjoy seeing their papers too, but we need a distinct tag for neuro papers. For a thread, somebody suggested a #TootSuite, and I had suggested a #MastoPiece, but maybe we want something simple like #NeuroPaperThread and #NeuroNewPaper? or mix and match, like #NeuroSuite for a thread and #NeuroPaper for a paper w/o a thread?? Decisions, decisions.
I nominate @NicoleCRust to be the hashtag czar. Decide for us Nicole! (And anyone else, weigh in to help inform our czar!) And from your lips, or at least typing fingers, to the Mastodon's ears ...

We are living nowadays speedy overwhelming era:
New day, new neuroscience paper/s.
New every other day, new theory/ml free extra included.
Time to found a startup innovating and disrupting the market of daily neuroscience papers digest, with weekly top ten selection, monthly top five in-deep reviews, quarterly dual opposing columns.
ps: neuro millionares, vc, funds, bankrobbers: ping me!

I'm still going to suggest using #PaperThread for all paper threads but just adding the discipline in a second hash tag- at least until that wonderful day where there are *so many* paper threads on here that just quickly discarding the ones I'm not interested in becomes really onerous... and more so than scrolling past other types of content I'm not particularly interested in
@kendmiller @NicoleCRust
Since we can combine hashtags in searches, pinned hashtags etc. I vote for #NeuroPaper whenever we’re referring to… a paper in neuroscience, and simply add the #Thread if it’s also a thread?
Also if it’s a preprint thread it could be #MastoPrint but preprints and papers are really not that different nowadays…
