Whenever there's a new wave of people coming to the #fediverse and #mastodon in particular, I'm reminded of this Simpsons clip where Marge is trying to enjoy a Rubik's cube but her family keeps pointing out things she's doing wrong and thus taking all the fun out of it.

Be kind to newcomers. Beyond the basic rules of any given instance, everything else are optional conventions. Let people enjoy #fedi however they want.

Don't be preachy (he says in a preachy tone 😅 )
