Here's a comment for incoming Twitter users: I've found that some are really put off by the way Mastodon requires push and pull to get to information. Rather than Elmo telling you what to read (and steering you to most incendiary content), you have to go look for it and choose to consume it. Most notably, I've come to think of "Content Warnings" as instead subject lines, just like you'd use in an email, so readers can scan whether they want to read further.
@emptywheel what is really putting people off right now isn’t so much the push and pull as the how impossible it is to find…anyone. People are trying to reconstitute social networks of mutuals now and the system is designed to make this difficult on purpose.

@Ouij @emptywheel I strongly suggest trying #Debirdify to find people you were following on Twitter. If they have made any mention of their instance and user name you can find ad follow them on Mastodon
