A big welcome to everyone new to #Mastodon! 👋

You’re going to like it here.

Unlike #Twitter, this place isn’t set up as a race for RTs & likes & feels more like an ongoing conversation. Engagement is high & on the whole, there’s less outrage & more thoughtful content. I’ve been enjoying the chance to get to meet interesting new folks.

Tip: Start with an #introduction & share your interests. @feditips is a helpful follow to get oriented too.

@Sheril @feditips admittedly this site does take some getting used to. It's not easy getting used to the lack of outrage but, it's nice to post something like a picture of your embroidery work and not be afraid it's going to turn into a nasty political debate or, I don't know, insulting my threadwork and a debate which thread is better which turns ugly.
