@Rubyslippahs Not boats. He was just disappointed there wasn't a playground to play on.
@fogelnet @stux Excellent. I'll be doing the same shortly.
@hatchetjackk 100% agree. I found a couple niche servers who’s feeds I’d like to browse, but no way to follow only JUST them. At least, not that I know of.
@CactusRack Awwww. She’s really brave though. Two minutes is a long time. Especially in a haunted house that you walk through. I did one of those a few Halloweens ago, and it was like sensory overload.
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.
@Esgalor Wow! These are incredible Esther! Absolutely stunning.
@mrjoncryer OMG they are adorable!
@fogelnet my guess/hope is that as mastodon gains more steam, more apps, or improvement to the current apps, will happen.
@fogelnet Yeah man, I’ve been doing the same. Love curating my feed.
