HELLO #ChemiVerse – just signed someone else up to #Mastodon... say hello to @sirfrasersays!

#ChemToots #Chemistry

Everything ever observed - all normal matter - stars, planets, me & you, the very screen you’re looking at - makes up <5% of the universe.

The other 95% is a combination of “dark matter” & “dark energy.” Think of it as a big question mark.

That means we still have so much to discover ✨

#Twitter is top down. ⬇️

#Mastodon is self-organizing. ↔️

Still lots of unknowns & we’ll see how it all shakes out over time, but IMHO a decentralized network likely fosters trust & relationships in a way Twitter can’t. And that feels more sustainable over time. (FWIW I study community sustainability).

Also, so far it’s more pleasant here for women. #TwitterMigration

I spoke about this a few days ago, but since there are so many new folks here: Mastodon has lists. And they're useful. You need to already be following people but you can put them into lists and then just call up that list. So, I have a list for journalists, and for tech law people. And it's super useful for me.

Unfortunately, lists are not currently public or shareable, though.

But test out the list feature to make Mastodon more useful.
