Here's how it shows up. Surprised to find #MekongReview using Threads though, given all the concerns about Meta, and especially its well documented role in #Myanmar:

Would it not be better to use your existing #RSS feed & #POSSE?
Edit: disappointed by non-response, the enormity may take time to digest? Adding some hashtags to summarise: #Meta #Rohingya #genocide #complicity

That link opens your webpage on threads, not an account to follow... ?

Yes but if they do that it works well. Anyway it's a significant first step to be readable?
& if people wish to interact, they can do so in one place rather than in the fragmented conversations that would result from cross-posting? #bridgy seems capable of reuniting the lost worlds of #ScienceTwitter.

While I delight in the Fediverse & its advantages, I am keeping an eye on Prof Trish Greenhalgh & others now posting mainly on Bluesky, and saw some people wishing they could read you there. Maybe worth bridging so that they can read what you post here? To do this, follow @npub1pqr…2sck
