The Mastodon political science community is scattered across multiple servers. That is fine!

However, one way to keep connected is by the use of *a group*

So, please, all political scientists, follow this group get all political science posts: @politicalscience

And tag the group to share with us all, if you want to spread messages across the entire political science community.

BUT it only works if people follow the group. So, please boost to spread the word! 🙏

@M_B_Petersen @politicalscience bit confused by what this is. Don't think groups are a thing. Is it a bot that boosts everything it is mentioned in or something like that?

@M_B_Petersen @AlanBell

That’s exactly what it is.
(And I have taken the “group” off this reply)

@toby @M_B_Petersen ah, great thanks. A good idea. There is a big long discussion of groups in https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/139 but your approach seems perfectly valid :)

@toby @AlanBell Yes, indeed. For some reason it is called a group rather than bot but i dont know why tbh
