Every time a newcomer posts an introduction and somebody tells them they shouldn’t have joined Mastodon.social and need to move to a different server, an angel loses their wings.

Ditto:

'Why are you still on Bluesky too?'

'But did you *delete* your Twitter account?'

’You said you switched to Proton mail too, oh that’s bad, once someone at Proton said something’

It’s nice to see new neighbours move into the Fediverse. It feels unwelcoming to see people immediately interview them about the purity of their intentions. Or telling them You’re Doing It Wrong. They've just arrived on a journey away from Big Tech. Maybe they'd prefer to be offered a seat and a cup of tea.

@CiaraNi And maybe a nice biscuit or a scone.
@psneeze Someone would immediately tell them they pronounced Scone the wrong way.
@psneeze That someone would be me, if they pronounced it Skon, not scone-rhymes-with-Eoghan
@CiaraNi 100% it's Eoghan!
@psneeze Yes it is! I can't believe there are people who walk this earth saying Skon Skon Skon.

@CiaraNi @psneeze

Lol. I pronounce it "sc-oh-ne"

My OH pronounces it "skon"

There are neverending discussions in our house about it! XD :D

@grb090423 @CiaraNi @psneeze I always say skon because when it scone, it's gone.

@falcennial @CiaraNi @psneeze

That's the argument my OH uses... what's the fastest cake in the world: scone. (skon)

Half my family are from the midlands and upwards (UK) and it seems more folk there say "sc-oh-ne".

@grb090423 @falcennial @CiaraNi @psneeze
It's scone as in cone 😉 (North England)

@AH_99 @falcennial @CiaraNi @psneeze

Yessssss! 💪😁
