Boy, nothing says welcome to mastodon like a bunch of accounts announcing you’ll be gone in a minute, scolding you for taking so long to leave Twitter, or pretending there’s nothing frustrating about signing up to a place that has different rules than you’re used to.

Cut the new arrivals some slack, people.

New folk, you’re very welcome. Most of us are kind and friendly. You’ll get the hang of it! #Welcome #WelcomeToMastodon
