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 I say skon. It's the correct way, a northern hill to die on.
@DavidBridger @CiaraNi there were few survivors of the scone/skon wars. #skonskonskon

@Wifiwits @DavidBridger This has happily reminded me of one of the happiest moments of my life, the moment when I learnt that the Scone of Stone in the Discworld is based on an actual real Stone of Scone in Scotland.

@CiaraNi @Wifiwits @DavidBridger often wondered if they pronounce it scone or scone in Scone.

@jbenjamint @CiaraNi @Wifiwits @DavidBridger

*taps mic*

Ahem…

SKWON

*runs, hides*

@mdreid Skwon! Well maybe if you're in the process of eating one, then with your mouth full that's what Scone sounds like

@jbenjamint @Wifiwits @DavidBridger

@CiaraNi @mdreid @jbenjamint @Wifiwits @DavidBridger Scone rhymes exactly with Doune (another very historic town just down the road).

Hope that helps.
