📈 IMHO the most underreported #MastoAdmin success story of the #TwitterMigration has to be that of chaos.social.

💡 The maturity & insight shown by @leah & @rixx has been a real delight to see. Read the story below of their wisdom: Close registrations, focus the content, focus on #community.

 Growth is not a core value in the #Fediverse. The big tech mindset of growth-at-any-cost is proven to be not sustainable, & it won't survive here, either.

The fact that we all came to #mastodon looking for an app just lke Twitter and 2 days later we are all happy that Mastodon is in fact NOT like Twitter, says a lot about that little birdie.
Did not get to stack as many Staryu quests as I'd have liked. Also son got a shiny shadow Mawile but it ran away! How's your luck? #PokèmonGo
My local supermarket now has staff wearing reindeer-antler hats. For christmas. In November. In Australia.
Just f**k off with that.

We've done poorly, my fellow migrants from other websites. We need to do better. Read this:

Some quotes:

"It's not entirely [their] fault. They've been taught to behave in certain ways. To chase favourites and reboosts. To promote themselves. To perform. "

Taught? Or brainwashed? #TwitterRefugees we must do better.

"I hadn't fully understood — really appreciated — how much corporate publishing systems steer people's behaviour until this week."

I think a lot of us have not appreciated that either. With a few exceptions (okay ME) people don't realize how truly abusive the website we have migrated from really was.

"Early this week, I realised that some people had cross-posted my Mastodon post[ ...]. Someone else had posted a screenshot of it ....

Nobody thought to ask if I wanted that."

That last line. I'm guilty of this but at least I only posted a former refugee's post. We need to do better. Read the article if you've come from the #TwitterMigration.

Home invasion - Mastodon's Eternal September begins

The fediverse is dealing with a huge wave of Twitter people bringing toxic ideas with them.

What is with Aus and understanding lack of credit card security?
