David Carrollfolks who are deeply skeptical and haven’t yet experienced any joys or reassurances on the fediverse yet are experiencing a lot of painful grief right now and will struggle to adapt to this new world so we should try to be welcoming and helpful when they arrive
DemoKrissy@profcarroll This is particularly true when folks like me with a low follower count on the bird app, but who made meaningful connections there, step into this space having lost most of those connections.
@DemoKrissy It can be helpful to use a tool like #debirdify or #fedifinder to scan your twitter account to reunite here. Regardless, I’ve been seeing familiar faces, and more importantly meeting new ones. Takes a bit longer without the algorithm. Worth the effort, soon enough.
@profcarroll Thanks much!
