Short description
The Mastodon server for the Drosophila community
Long description
This a Mastodon server for the Drosophila research community.
This server is meant to improve interaction among Drosophila scientists and aficionados. By joining this instance you will have access to the entire Mastodon universe and you will be able to read, follow and be followed by users on all other Mastodon instances in the world.
For now, this server has no special rules regarding moderation beyond the ones of common sense: do not be abusive, do not be nasty.
As the community grows, we will democratically try to set some rules of access or behaviour if needed but I trust it will probably not be necessary because everyone knows Drosophilists are kindest people.
The fly images on the site are from https://sci-flies.com/ and @veraksa.
