“The loss of science on #Twitter is a contemporary mass extinction event”, says Professor Edward #Holmes, who recently was awarded the prestigious Croonian Medal by the Royal Society. He has also deleted his Twitter account recently. “Twitter used to be THE place where you shared ideas, data, preprints and papers. Now it’s a post-Apocalyptic hell hole.” #scicomm

@gubi Remember back in the 2000s, before the rise of social media, when we used to have these things called “websites”, where people would post whatever they wanted, and it didn’t rely on a mega tech corporation?

@gubi *Everybody* should leave this fascist pub, governments, scientists, journalists, NGOs, organisations, democratic thinking people ... the platform would be isolated and lose it's power and money!
