Is anyone maintaining a list of polisci/IR folks who have made their way to this platform? I'm trying to get situated here, but find the learning curve is steep enough that I keep falling off.
@truback Not that I am aware of just yet.
With that said, I would keep watching... I suspect that before too long the IR/poli sci community will spin up their own mastodon instance. Much like mastodon.pawprofs.org, or econtwitter.net (which despite the name is a mastodon instance).
Once it exists, you can either join it to easily monitor the local timeline (some people keep second accounts for this), or you can do what I do and simply click through posts from there to see who is being @'d.
