I have spent the last two weeks in conferences with other science communicators and the general consensus in discussions was that (1) Twitter is dying and (2) it’s not clear what will replace it. (And not much enthusiasm about Mastodon, it seems.)

@AstroKatie Were there any reasons given for not feeling positively about Mastodon?

@hollie I think the perception is it’s a bit complicated, the interface isn’t as nice, it feels kinda siloed

@AstroKatie @hollie We just launched a volunteer-driven site SpreadMastodon.org to help explain it and make signing up crazy easier. Mastodon is our best shot to . I hope it might make Mastodon more approachable to people like your colleagues (who are far from alone!).
