I think for me to abandon Twitter entirely, I'd need more official media orgs (e..g Sky, BBC, CNN) on here, more journalists because I get a lot of my news from Twitter (esp breaking news).

Also more official bodies (e.g. UKHSA, ONS) so I can see when new official research & stats are released on e.g. Covid, the economy, etc.

And finally academic journals (e.g. BMJ, Lancet, NEJM) who I rely on for latest health research!

Will they come?

@chrischirp Yes! I feel the same way. I've been asking the media and org entities I most enjoy to make themselves an account on Mastodon. I really do hope they start showing up.

One thing I'm gonna start doing is posting their content here. If we post it, perhaps they will come.
