I’m finding so many interesting posts & links about #science & #history on #Mastodon.
It’s not that this kind of content wasn’t on #Twitter, but it got lost in a sea of outrage in my feed, which was organized by algorithms, promoted tweets & ads.
The lack of those algorithms & a new chance to curate an intentional list of follows has certainly helped too. So I’m really enjoying interactions here & learning a bit along the way. (It is the Internet, so always check the sources of course!)

@Sheril As someone who posts a lot of science and sci-history threads on both Mastodon and Twitter, I am definitely seeing a different sort of engagement here than there. I’m finding Mastodon a lot more enjoyable.

@Sheril One thing that was especially frustrating for me on Twitter, was putting together a long thread on some scientific pioneer who hasn’t received the credit the are due, only to have that work scraped by a big "science is awesome” account. Seeing almost none of that here.

Both your threads are amongst my favourite reads on here. The effort put in is much appreciated.
