Another med-mastodon person has migrated. @jeneralist@med-mastodon.com is now @jeneralist@mstdn.science.

Two pieces of good med-mastodon news.
1. There's encouraging news about possibly getting med-mastodon back online. See https://mastodonapp.uk/@wild1145/115841613221447399 and https://xcancel.com/nickmmark/status/2007845660322877860#m
2. Someone else is working on an alternative to med-mastodon for the medical (and allied health) community. See his announcement here: https://community.nodebb.org/topic/19174/missing-med-mastodon-come-to-postcall.pub
Update: Med-mastodon is back online!

Apparently med-mastodon.com went offline with no warning sometime around Dec. 28. I'm hoping @bicmay and @gregggonsalves re-establish a presence somewhere else.
@cbarbermd@med-mastodon is apparently now @cbarbermd, going from 1.6K followers to only 2.
Not much info about what happened except for this Reddit post:

Thank you for the summary! Glad to be back on Mastodon. I was trying to start from scratch on another instance and waiting for approval. At least now I can download my information and figure out all the accounts I was following!

@bicmay So glad I'll still be able to follow you!
And if you don't want to move, you can stay put, since med-mastodon seems to have a good new admin, with everything still in place.
Downloading backups would still be a wise move, though.
