**We are moving platforms**

Bioconductor will cease posting on Twitter/X as of December 17, 2023. Instead we will be continuing to post on other social media platforms that better reflect our community’s code of conduct.

Check out our blog post which explains our decision: https://blog.bioconductor.org/posts/2023-11-17-twitter-exit/

Do any Mastodon clients sort your home feed by engagement? Or allow customization of the home feed?

Wikipedia is now on Mastodon, at @wikipedia!

They've taken an interesting approach here, as it is an account run by the community, where everyone can contribute (explanation here: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/@Wikipedia). At the same time, it is verified on the official homepage of wikipedia.org, as you can see in the screenshot.

Personally, I think this suits the spirit of the fediverse that the Wikipedia account is not a PR department, but community members building something together!
