Update. #Mastodon is pulling ahead of the other platforms I'm exploring. As a sign of seriousness, I just added my M handle (@[email protected]) to my Twitter bio. Please join the #OA, #OS, and #scholcomm community there, even if (like me) you keep one foot in @Twitter.
Moving a community to another system is a hard collective action problem. Even if the other system better fits our #OpenScience values.
We will follow @BrianNosek's idea & will not post here in November. You can submit posts at Reddit and read them here: https://t.co/e99v8yt9UD
FediScience and other Mastodon communities are growing fast. This is good for #OpenScience, this is our kind of system. So worth reading is: "How to Leave Dying Social Media Platforms". https://t.co/tFDm50V5pD https://t.co/pHmuiJdaJ0
@DorkySophie Feel free to disagree with the reasons, but there are reason and it is not that Mastodon "has not been able to provide the basic functionalities such as QTs."
@DorkySophie There are no quote tweets so that people talk with each other and not about each other. So that Libs of Tiktok cannot use this to send their mob to harass trans people and teachers.
I feel I used QT responsible and think it is a pity, but it has a reason.

But Mastodon is a social network and accounts that are not interacting mostly make it worse.
