There is something truly sad about losing a platform that served as a gathering place for fellow #childadvocates who wanted to do good, share accurate info, amplify solid science & public health
Even #AAP renamed its #tweetiatrician update bc Ye Olde Bird App has fallen so far into unregulated #misinformation & hate speech
I used to help others set up their 1st #Twitter account
Now I've been asked to walk her through permanent deactivation of her acct
X the X
@namd4kids thanks for sharing and I fully agree.
Are you aware of former “tweetiatricians” on Masto, is there a #pedimastodon ?
We (ie @99nicu) started the #nicuverse server and have tried to get some #NeoTwitter colleagues to move over to a #neomastodon but few has made the move.
@stefanjohansson @99nicu
that's wonderful! I know @pediatricskc was doing a lot to organize the former #tweetiatricians group here. I can't remember the official name, but I know #MedMastodon has also been a rallying group.
I haven't been quite as active here as I was on Twitter, but with the new #threads app, I'm seeing more activity there, including the official American Academy of Pediatrics and HealthyChildren.org accounts, so quite possible that might end up popular for Peds to organize
