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.
Show threadCiara1d ago
@psneeze That someone would be me, if they pronounced it Skon, not scone-rhymes-with-Eoghan
Show threadJim Daly1d ago
@CiaraNi 100% it's Eoghan!
Show threadCiara1d ago
@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 @CiaraNi Which "skon" do you mean? In the IPA, /skon/ is something that sounds like scone, rather than one that sounds like skon. Ok, to be clearer, something that sounds like tone, rather than something that sounds like gone.
