Folks:
If you subscribe to a starter pack, you only get the people that were in it at the time you subscribed.
If more people get added after that, it does not auto-add them to your followings.
You can go back, hit “subscribe” again, & then you’ll be up-to-date with the new additions.

Fantastic 🧵 that includes multiple starter packs for various groups within #MedSky. We’ve got women’s health, immunologists, infectious disease docs, geneticists & more!
Great way to connect with those within your speciality - or for patients to connect with experts in various fields.

Here are some helpful starter packs as #ScienceTwitter nomads attempt to reunite here. Please add more in comments as you find them and I'll try to keep adding here:

I’m taking a “if you build it - they will come” approach to this starter pack.
I’m looking for healthcare workers who have a specific focus in women’s health, reproductive health and/or disability & chronic illness (or all 3!)
Open to all disciplines! The pack is small now but will add as I go:

Welcome to BlueSky! There are lots of tools to prevent toxicity. First rule of BlueSky is don't feed the trolls. You can also detach quoted posts because Quote Dunking is highly discouraged. And the block is real. bsky.app/profile/bsky...
📢 1.90 is rolling out now (3/11)
Every post now has the ability to “detach” quote posts.
Quote posts are great but sometimes they’re used to dunk on people. This tool gives you a quick way to remove your post from the quote, reducing the unwanted attention that a quote might bring.

Just a quick note to those new here, if you think someone's post is worth other people reading, repost it. Liking it does not have the same effect here as on the dead-bird site. There is no algorithm. That's one of the reasons we like it.

Reminder: Masks protect against all types of airborne viruses.
If another pandemic starts, masks will be a key first line of defense, especially as we won't have a vaccine right away.

Also, new folks, please know that when it comes to trolls, jerks, chuds and other undesirables here in the sky, we subscribe to the idea of “Don’t Engage, Just Block.” The block function is superpowered and expunges them entirely from your timeline. They hate it! Block with wild abandon! Don’t wait!

A post to pin to my profile—hope this starter pack helps you find some familiar faces!
Note: starter packs currently have a 150-account limit so it’s necessarily a very incomplete list; if you see anyone missing (like yourself!), I encourage you to start another pack to cover more of the community!

It just occurred to me that some folks are joining us directly from Xitter and never took a detour to other Twitter-alts. One massive perk of Bluesky is the ability to detach yourself from a QT by selecting "..." then "Detach quote"

To grow sustainably, we’re working on a subscription model for premium features like higher-quality video uploads and profile customizations (think colors and avatar frames), but Bluesky will always be free to use. We believe information and conversation should stay accessible to everyone.
