Single best thing I've read on Mastodon yet.

Twitter users have "been taught to behave in certain ways. To chase likes and retweets...To promote themselves. To perform...They call themselves 'refugees', but to the Mastodon locals it feels like a busload of Kontiki tourists just arrived, blundering around yelling at each other and complaining that they don't know how to order room service. We also mourn the world we're losing." #twittermigration #twitterefugee

@mlmillerphd Sorry. Hope I'm not too much of a burden (and I understand well that it's not just the individual's behaviour that makes it difficult)

@egtewinkel not to me! And to be totally clear, I've been here a week, so I don't identify with this position. I just found it very compelling.

@mlmillerphd I very well understand that position. And to be honest, I am still learning, so I might annoy some 'oldies' as well. Just try to be humble enough.
