@Jopo89 It's a bit like twitter when i first tried it in 2010 and gave up. Maybe i could upskill on python and set up some bots that duplicate some useful twitter feeds on here. Creating a twitter bot was relatively easy if i could recycle some code off github.

@Jopo89 Just had an idea - we could create a UK medical instance of mastodon and only allow GMC registrees onto it - like doctors.net. Or would this be a massive waste of time/effort/money?

@Jopo89 @Jopo89 I think I could set up the server myself after a fair bit of work https://docs.joinmastodon.org/user/run-your-own/ -- or could pay someone to do the legwork such as https://masto.host/pricing/

@Jopo89 I can foresee some objections and issues - none of which insurmountable1. 'you're excluding public/nursing/ahp engagement'2. persuading some 'big names' to get a critical mass of buy in will be hard as they get likes/exposure from the public3. would it be international? if yes how to control it - where do you draw the line on who comes in

@Jopo89 Agree with all of the above - maybe need to think through scenarios a little more to forestall any stumbling blocks but in principle I think it could work because a) it's a familiar enough format to twitter for people to make the jump and b) there's nothing stopping them from using both

@Jopo89 if it is a truly closed community where there is no anonymity i think reactive moderation by a few volunteer users should be fine. From experience of small online communities in early 2000s (pre social media) the main issue is cliqueyness and the impression there is an in-group and perceived bullying and pile-ons . So need some non-anaesthetists from the beginning!

@Jopo89 Already on the case. There is a python library for accessing the API. I think it will be easy to duplicate twitter feeds. I’m just not that fast!

@Jopo89 @jtchristo I understand the deliberate lack of search function for the whole fediverse to prevent targeted harassment but it is quite frustrating! Apparently you can install a search function on a single instance - another reason to start one!

@Jopo89 Despite thinking this would be easy it is proving to be much harder than I thought! Progress is slow... I can only get text only tweets to come across from twitter. https://mas.to/web/accounts/168284

@Jopo89 RSS feeds is one thing but mirroring a twitter feed that isn't your own seems difficult. i've tried deploying these three this evening and I couldn't get any to work properly 😫 https://gitlab.com/mojo42/retoothttps://gitlab.com/ayush-sharma/tweet-toothttps://github.com/cquest/tootbotthishttps://github.com/yogthos/mastodon-botlooks promising but is javascript and would have no idea how to troubleshoot it

@Tj @Jopo89 @commandlinekid The masks you require for respiratory viral protection are particulate filters, not gas filters so you wouldn’t expect it to remove smells! Even the P3 rated devices we use on ICU don’t protect us from the bad odours you might expect in a hospital...

@commandlinekid @Jopo89 If you don’t mind me asking do you use https://github.com/yogthos/mastodon-bot or have you coded your own bot?
