CHECK PINNED IF YOU FOLLOW ME Nov 9, 2022

hey guys from Twitter.

we are glad to see you here but please understand that the fact that fediverse is anti-viral, anti-hierarchy and anti-capitalist is the point of it

please also understand that CWs, alt text and other stuff here is not there to "silence you" — it is to allow users greater agency over their feeds for their mental benefit, and to support disabled people.

this network was built by marginalized people. who disliked Twitter for the same reasons you do.

don't bring it back.

please. respect this place and be a honored guest to it.

don't spread hate or toxicity. avoid the kinds of things that made twitter, twitter.

let your arrival be an occasion to celebrate and not to fear.

and most importantly, stay kind.

@tillianisafox Thank you. Slowly reassembling my network of reasonably decent Birbsite Refugees and quietly sorting through the technical and cultural nuances. Everything has been easier and smoother than I expected. Not missing the algorithmic enragement and toxicity I left behind. Mistakes will be made and learned from so yeah, be kind if you can. And again, thank you for the welcome; I'll try not to track mud all over the carpet.
