With Musk’s call to prosecute Fauci, I’m thinking it’s finally time to step back from Twitter.

I’m also enjoying Mastodon more.
There are still powerful communities there doing good (URMs; advocacy) and I don’t fault anyone for staying there for that. But I don’t think I can justify my own contributions there, ethically.
How are all of you thinking about this topic?
@NicoleCRust I've cut pretty much all use of twitter except to run a sort of Mastodon phone book of science accounts over there. I'm liking it over here - not quite up to where the Other Site is for news and some cultural content (I miss all the art bots and cinema accounts), but the science and research community is shaping up nicely. Here's one indicator: after a month, I have yet to block or mute anyone.
