Just completed a full contact-port and crosspost arrangement for my Twitter and Mastodon accounts!

Whichever platform you're reading this on, it's also on the other one. I was surprised how easy it was, using two tools: @moaparty and @debirdify. Highly recommended.

Hello Mastodon!

By way of an #introduction to my fellow #TwitterMigration people, I'm Benjamin Abrams, a Political Sociologist at University College London (UCL).

I write and teach about revolutions, social movements and resistance, as well as modern democracy and popular mobilization.

Follow me if you’re interested in discussion and coverage of revolts, mass mobilization and the likely fate of democracy in the current age, from a scholarly perspective. #FollowFriday :SoM
