With the Xodus from the dead bird site, there are a lot of new people on Mastodon.

To the newcomers, welcome to this corner of the internet! It's quite friendly here and there are communities for anything you may be interested in.

There aren't really any fights here the way there is on X, so if you're into verbal blood sports this might not be the place for you, but if you're sick of rage bait and toxicity you will feel right at home here!

If you're looking for people to connect with, feel free to say hi in the comments and mention your interests and follow anyone there who looks interesting!
