I'm excited that #ScienceTwitter & #AcademicTwitter are flocking to #Mastodon as the 'replacement for Twitter'.
It may be confusing, clumsy, & slow, but it's free, open-source, & absolutely not-for-profit. That's philosophically far more appropriate. I hope we can make it work!
@PWGTennant RE: slow, that depends on the instance and their server availability. I think social is probably a bit slower since most people seem to have migrated there first.
@PausalZ I'm thinkin of moving to a science or academic server anyway. Seems more appropriate.
