Just deleted my 17,000 follower account on the bird app. Anyone wanna help me out with a follow?
@IAmNurseTrish Welcome to the #fediverse. It's good to meet you. 😺
@IAmNurseTrish same. We’ll thrive here too
@IAmNurseTrish welcome to the family!!!
@IAmNurseTrish the #MedMastodon #MedTwitter family, that is (be sure to use hashtags on here, they actually help people find each other)
@IAmNurseTrish I didn't follow you there and only had a little over 2K followers myself, but I'll help you. Now following. 🙂
@IAmNurseTrish
You asked so nicely, how could I refuse?
😁🤣👍
@IAmNurseTrish um, is now a good time to tell you you could have brought all mastodon/twitt crossover followers over with this tool from @debirdify

@IAmNurseTrish

Absolutely… welcome aboard…

@IAmNurseTrish followed you... Your turn 😉
@IAmNurseTrish Welcome! I think you’ll find this to be a much happier, more courteous, and safer place.
@IAmNurseTrish if you had a complete profile or a #introduction post, it would go a long way to help attract followers.
@IAmNurseTrish
Good to meet you ! I'm new too, & looking to connect with newbies & #Reisters.
@ESugarloaf good to meet you, too!
@IAmNurseTrish
There's a lot to learn here, but people have been very friendly & helpful. I hope this works out here.
@IAmNurseTrish hey there from #princeedwardisland ! Welcome. Been bouncing between here and Counter Social. So far about an equal split of the accounts I was following between the two sites.
@IAmNurseTrish just did. Please follow back 🙏🏼🙏🏼
@IAmNurseTrish I haven’t deleted the account yet, and might not for awhile, but I have deleted the app. As someone else said, we deserved better. But I have been in an abusive relationship and today that’s just what it felt like when I opened the app. :::shudder:::
@MiriShuli I’m so sorry, Miriam. ❤️
@IAmNurseTrish This spud has your back. This spud loves everyone.
@IAmNurseTrish Just followed. Pls followback. #Namesake
@IAmNurseTrish

Please do not delete the bird app account. If you do, a troll will be able to claim it in 30 days. Many of us are using our bird accounts to put up banners pointing to our other social media accounts, a short message about EM being scum, and then let them sit.
@IAmNurseTrish Welcome! I don't have firsthand experience with large follower accounts but I am told that you might find the level of engagement you had before long before you get to 17,000. Hope that you find what you are looking for here and find ways to contribute.

@IAmNurseTrish

that is the spirit.
Elon is betting that we all crawl back to his crack site.

Don`t take my words, take his

Crack, yeah...
I enjoy my avocado toast while driving my bike on a road closed for cars including electric ones and have all time on earth to watch if he wins this bet or not.
And I love being able to post this and not having to fear an onslaught of "you dirty commusocialist snowflaketard" replies.

Attached: 1 image #twittermigrate #twitterExodus #TwitterMigration Musk is betting you are coming back. He is betting you are addicted. He chuckles along with a trollish thread of multiple (blocked) accounts trolling "the left" & their flight to mastodon It is a perfect postcard of why I won't go back. Crystal perfect desire to addict & abuse from the CEO of the platform. Will you go back? Are you addicted?

Mastodon Canada

@IAmNurseTrish

also, one other thing. Not having algorithms means also that you don`t have to watch follower numbers that much. Most people report a way higher rate of reactions to their posts in relations to their follower count.

Just live your life, post, engage, discuss.

@IAmNurseTrish

and one last hint: use hashtags.
Mastodon works differently than #twitter in that regard, where hashtags were eventually declared superfluous. Here they are still used to let you decide if you want your post to be found or not.

@IAmNurseTrish I think I may be your 159th follower, but still: Hello and welcome! Nice to have you here =)
