So, I've a meta question for the AskHistorians community. I love your Twitter account. But now, as we know, there's something happening with Twitter and historians are abandoning it in droves. Mastodon has a budding community of historians (under the hashtag #histodons) - will we see an AskHistorians account there too?
We are currently very actively discussing our social media presence going forward, but I wouldn't want to pre-empt the outcome of those discussions.
Why are historians leaving twitter in “droves”? Would’ve assumed educating the masses on our collective history is important irrespective of individuals ideological leanings
