Those of us migrating from #Twitter (like me) should read this article. I've been here a few days, and have already come to the realization that #Mastodon is an entirely different ecosystem. The worst we can do is treat it as Twitter 2.0.

This is a special community worth preserving. Some of the features that might strike the Twitter user as archaic were designed purposely to protect people over here. Let's try to respect the existing culture, not change it. 👇

Somebody rightly pointed out that Mastodon is many cultures - which is true. I don't have an edit button, but I hope my meaning is understood despite my phrasing, above.

@DrLindseyFitzharris Actually you should have an edit-Button. That's one of the beauties of Mastodon. It is called "Delete & re-draft". 😉

@risk Hmmm... maybe because I'm using it on my laptop? I'll look into it. An edit button would be brilliant!

@DrLindseyFitzharris Does that help?

@risk Oh yes - so if I delete and redraft, do the comments and reblogs disappear? It's already been shared a lot.

@DrLindseyFitzharris @risk they do. The real edit button is in Mastodon V.4, which is the latest version only some servers are running.

@john @DrLindseyFitzharris Good to know. I missed that when I read the announced changes. 🙄
