@spacetelescope Are you an official STScI account? I saw this post was boosted by @kellylepo who appears to work at STScI, which is what made me wonder.
@kellylepo @spacetelescope Oh, very cool!
If you haven't already considered it, it might be worth stating in the account description that it's an official account and using Mastodon's verification function (using the official STScI website), since there are many unofficial accounts and Twitter mirrors on Mastodon.
@internic @spacetelescope Yes, this is the official STScI account.
