I've not been using Mastodon for a while, but many accounts and people I want to follow are now on 🦋 so I'll be increasingly using https://t.co/lmb9q1XYUu plus https://t.co/TKGqjai9sC for research posts now

[Paul Rayson @perayson]

Spent 2 weeks on Mastodon and it is taking off in the #NLProc #corpuslinguistics communities. If Twitter does crash & burn, I will miss the supportive communities and networking opportunities here. Staying until the bitter end, but otherwise catch me at @[email protected]
