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.

@Devonkiwi There is only mayhem if someone puts the cream first. And sure who would do a thing like that.

@Devonkiwi @CiaraNi I've lived both sides of the Tamar, eaten scones in both counties, and honestly they all taste exactly the same.

Pasties, now. They're a different story altogether.

@DavidBridger @Devonkiwi I was in Cornwall once and left without eating a pastie. I think that was probably illegal. I shall rectify that next time.

@CiaraNi @DavidBridger As a Devonian, I must confess I prefer the side crimp.
