Whenever you get twitchy bc it’s taking longer than you’re used to for your notifications or comments to load, remember that there’s a highly-caffeinated sysadmin person hustling to absorb millions more users into/onto the Mastodon Fediverse. Hold your shorts on and give it a second.

⚡️The russian federation is preparing for a protracted war in Ukraine, and those who support Kyiv in NATO must continue to send weapons until Russian President Vladimir Putin realizes that he cannot win on the battlefield, NATo Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg
With each new surge of Mastodon users, I feel the need to point out:
1. Welcome!
2. There is a learning curve here, but most people find it short and not very steep. Play around, explore. You'll get it.
3. Lots of people are willing to help.
4. Yes, it's different than Twitter. Sometimes in good ways, sometimes not. But you'll figure it out.
5. With surges especially, things sometimes get slow/glitchy, but they usually get fixed pretty quick.
Be patient.
