For psychologists & those wanting to follow psychological science, Kait Clark has put together this tremendous resource for Mastodon. It has a growing list of people you may already follow here with instructions for how to easily follow in bulk.

Hello #TwitterMigration people.

If you encounter a racist/discriminatory/hate toot, let your administrator know (take a screenshot and attach the offensive toot when you do). Use the REPORT function to do this.

THE ADMINISTRATOR will let other admins know by tagging it with #fediblock . This helps admins to find troublesome instances..

Here, the final arbiter is a PERSON, unlike the process on the birdsite where “report abuse” triggers an algorithm

#TwitterTakeover #racism #hate #bigotry

#introduction

I'm a professor at Penn State studying how attention and memory let us build internal representations. I use #behavior, #psychophysics, #electrophysiology, and #computational-modelling.

I’m also a founder of #Neuromatch, which is hoping to democratizing access to science.

Most recently we’ve been working on a new model of scientific #publishing. https://nmop.io/

Very happy to see how Mastodon is taking off!

Academics in psychology and related disciplines: I've created a repository for our accounts to help people find and bulk-follow each other on mastodon:

*Psychology Repository Update*

It’s been 24 hours since I launched the repository, and we already have 120 people! I hope this will be a useful resource for people to find friends.

KEEP IN MIND! #Mastodon doesn't work like #Twitter!

Have you just made the #Twexit or the #TwitterMigration?

Favorites ⭐ - they're not "likes". They don't "elevate" posts, they just the poster know you liked their post.

Boosts 🔁 - these push someone's post into your friends feeds (and help discovery).

So if you ⭐ my posts, that's great (and I love you too)!

But if you 🔁 posts, then more people see them!

OH! - #Hashtags are how you search!

A quick note of something that may be important for people to know: I already noted that DMs here are a bit sketchy security wise, but (THIS IS THE IMPORTANT BIT): if you mention someone else's account in a DM, Mastodon, yoinks them into the conversation.

So, you know, if you think you're talking about someone behind their back, you might be doing it to their face.
