I'm not here to bring my bad habits from Twitter with me. I'm here to listen, learn, and make real connections. I'll keep reading about the protocols of Mastodon and the larger fediverse and do my best not to change (or ruin) this place. As I learn more, I realize that my presence here (along with so many other Twitter migrants), threatens an ecosystem I don't yet understand. In spite of this, I feel welcome and hopeful and very grateful for being here. Thank you. I'll keep learning.
@Jackie I'm also eager to learn and make connections here. Could you explain why you think your presence threatens the ecosystem?
@wordstrumpet Mostly this post, but I've been reading a lot too: https://www.hughrundle.net/home-invasion/
Home invasion - Mastodon's Eternal September begins

The fediverse is dealing with a huge wave of Twitter people bringing toxic ideas with them.

@Jackie Took a quick look at the article and will read it more closely later. Thanks!
