> Did science twitter migrate to somewhere else? Where would you go to keep up with scientific papers?

Science Twitter in particular has mostly migrated to Mastodon (although it's split between a few different subgroups).

A number of other de facto Twitter communities have migrated to Mastodon. Some have stayed on Twitter. And some have basically died without moving anywhere else.




(although it's split between a few different subgroups)

This is the big problem with Mastodon. Some people want highly curated communities on small instances, and it's great for that. But it's really bad for people who want to make us of network effects - as exemplified by the very phrase '______ Twitter'.
