Luna Saphira Dragofelis 🐱I think we should try to educate twitter migratees about fediverse culture in a friendly way.
However, I've seen plenty of people who are harsh or even hostile to the newcomers. I think that's misguided. Being unfriendly to newcomers will drive them back to twitter or other proprietary platforms.
We should give the newbies a genuine chance by being patient enough to explain fediverse culture, and hopefully they'll integrate well soon.
Currently, newbie related issues are amplified by the sheer number of them, but once they start learning fediverse culture the issues will reduce.
Also I think we should show a good example of a less toxic social media environment. Being toxic to newbies likely encourages them to act toxically as well, and I think nobody wants this.

10 quick Mastodon tips
There has recently been a huge rush of people trying out Mastodon. This is also noticeable in the number of people reading my earlier Mastodon Guide. I wanted to take this opportunity to provide a brief list of usage tips that I wish I had at hand when first setting
So my son decided it’d be cool to jump the #NYC subway turnstile with his friends and got caught. Now his Mom is freaking out and thinking he’s gonna have a criminal record because of it.

stux⚡️It’s really sad for people who lost their trusted online home in #Twitter with the Musk takeover. He really shows who he is now by firing half the staff blindly, he simply doesn’t care about the human aspect.
Try to see it positive since now you have discovered a place that’s as much as fun and probably even more! We may not have the numbers but we make up for that by kindness and interaction with each other🥰♥️
A social network is not defined by its numbers but by its community 
Last day of soccer practice for my son. He’s elated, and looking forward to starting musical theater.
Anyone in the #sandiego area know of any #WoodWorking classes? Was going to sign up at the local community college, but the dates/times just do not work for my schedule.
If you are an auto enthusiast, or were a fan of Mythbusters, I highly recommend you check out the Jessi Combs documentary: The Fastest Woman on Earth. So well done. I cried a few times. Jessi is a legend. https://youtu.be/ij1Xg2CIXtI
