@PLOS Which PLOS accounts are currently on the Fediverse? Is it @PLOS and @plosclimate only?
With #ScienceTwitterMigration increasingly moving scientists off Twitter and bigots moving in on Twitter and even getting paid for it, are there plans for other PLOS* accounts to move here as well?
If you are interested in #Geoscience or indeed #Science in general, @allochthonous has done an amazing thing and assembled a directory of accounts - take a look, and add yourself if relevant.
My contribution to rebuilding the vibrant geo-community that existed on the bird site has been starting and maintaining and opt-in list of Earth Science folks who are now active in the Fediverse. Go to the link below and you can generated an importable csv of all the folks who have signed up so far. https://all-geo.org/mastodon-earthsci/ If you have yet to sign up and would like to, go here: https://forms.gle/iYvKHFWajKjEewsY7 #geology #EarthScience
I enjoy #Mastodon and I think it will gradually replace #sciencetwitter and accelerate #ScienceTwitterMigration
I don't think I will miss the virtue signalling and harassment on Twitter, but I worry that Mastodon is somewhat of an academic filter bubble of left-leaning liberals.
Don't misinterpret this: I am firmly located on the left myself (though I consider myself a #socialist, not a liberal), but I appreciate a bit of ideological diversity as a way to sharpen my intellect. 1/
