I hope others will follow. I have truly enjoyed the conversations, debates, and learning over the years, but Twitter is no longer an appropriate location for #FOAMed . .

The Twitter algorithm is broken. It drives trolls, porn, and advertisement. There is no way the #FOAMed community can ever reform in this environment. I am hopeful that the community can regroup, but it will have to be elsewhere. .

It is a sad end. Twitter was once a great platform. We truly had a community. People who wanted to improve the practice of medicine and learn from each other. Even without the horrid political views of Musk, that community has long been lost. .

The First10EM Twitter account is done. I will wait a few weeks before deleting in case anyone wants to follow me elsewhere. I will add the links at the end. .

Although there are major problems with all social media platforms, and most of their ownership, Nazi sympathy is a step beyond. This app is the anathema of the culture of #FOAMed . .

Twitter is owned by a man who is comfortable with the Nazi salute, while supporting parties associated with Neo-Nazis. Whether or not he identifies as a Nazi, he clearly either supports or sympathizes with the ideology. .

Personally, I think it is very clear that #FOAMed should have nothing to do with an app owned by Elon Musk. No one can read his mind, but he has made his feelings pretty damn clear. .

It feels fundamentally wrong to me to see #FOAMed continue on Twitter. I deleted the app a long time ago. Logging in today, after the last few months, I am sort of surprised to see how active the medical community remains here. .
