I've just got to say how happy I am with the Mastodon community, especially all the science/space people that I'm following. This place is the clear winner after the social media meltdown, despite its outstanding issues and missing features.

What makes me even more excited is that it's open and unmonetized, so it's completely immune to shareholder demands or the whim of a billionaire.

Don't worry if your friends aren't here yet, we're your new friends.

@fraser thank you for this summary Fraser. I’ve followed you for about 19 years now from G+ to Twitter, to here. I always want to find scientists who believe science communication is important. I follow @alexwild same path. Wish Phil Plait was here but at least I get his newsletter. I have the same pleasure here on Mastodon and have been fortunate to find many of my #Geology folks here too.
