You might have said some stuff about Mastodon in the past that you're sheepish about now.
Don't be!
It's not a big deal and nobody's going to hold it against you. Promise!
We're just glad to get to connect with you again.
Here, we're the content moderation. I've got major respect for the folks who built this place because, while the rest of us were complaining over on the #birdsite, they were successfully de-federating Gab.
Let's continue this proud #Fediverse tradition.

My dear twitter refugees,
As you are grieving the communities you are leaving behind, please remember Musk bought a platform, not a community.
YOU built the communities, and you will build them again.

Migration from Twitter shows no signs of slowing following Musk's takeover: report
Since Elon Musk's takeover, Mastodon account names have been added to the Twitter bios of more than 90,000 users, according to a report.Isabella Zavarise (Insider)
No, I'm telling you that moderation on the Fediverse is imperfect, especially for admins.
If you've ever had a thread get boosted 6,000x, you'll know what I mean.
Don't make this place appealing for the trolls.
We look at which sites users are adding to their Twitter bios, posting to their friends about & downloading apps for.
Please do boost this, and love to hear any comments or feedback on it!

When you join Mastodon, be careful about your role in the potential gentrification of this social network!
I say this because I'm noticing more and more high status folk making this their home.
That's fine.
But before you came, this place had a culture -- a very real and vibrant one.
And now that you're here, other high status people are sure to follow -- those people will try to seize this space!
@andrew and I built it as a hosted-in-Canada, capital-region-focused (but open to all Canadians) instance.
Please boost so folks can find us! 👀

Felt dread all the time. Regularly driven to tears or worse. Stress manifesting as physical discomfort. Learned to walk on eggshells and feel shame and terror over spontaneous levity or genuine self expression.
Twitter did not necessarily have widespread and robust conversations about what trauma might look like in terms of social media. It’s difficult to think of it as even applying to yourself, if that’s a new idea.
If twitter people seem mistrustful, overly cautious, argumentative, too emotionally reactive or unreactive, prone to taking things personally, or prone to excessive self recrimination, they might be inherently difficult people, maybe. Or, spitballing, they might be recovering from a terribly toxic environment.
Or they might be giants, idk.

And it's taking some patience.
That's not easy; we're watching warily as the #TwitterMigration grows.
But we've had some great contacts this weekend, and good people showing interest. I'm really hopeful.
Thanks to everyone who's expressing supportt. I think we plan to have more info and structure as the week progresses.
American Thanksgiving is a good week for Canadians to talk!
I'm not doing business plans. I've got a full time job already.
I'm just trying to set up co-op hosting so we can handle the #TwitterMigration as it comes in.
This is to host new users from the #TwitterMigration.
If you can give them a place to park, you should.

Journo: "If Mastodon is so cool, why didn't it take off in 2016".
My dude (and it's almost always a dude), it's almost 2023.
I shouldn't have to explain what social lock-in is anymore.
Social Media has been around long enough for you to know that people don't just move platforms.
They need to see that their friends are jumping first.
That's what is happening right now.

1. There's no universal search
2. Popularity of hashtags varies instance to instance
3. There's no secret algorithm
As I keep telling you, there's more to this endeavour than being a Twitter replacement!
We have the chance to entirely re-make the Internet!
I have never seen anything this massive.
Twitter's closing its offices as employees quit in droves. It actually might now exist next month.
There's now yet another #TwitterMigration as people create new account on Mastodon. https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/twitter-offices-closed-1.6655881
For example, there's no way to edit your toots (which they, confusingly call "tweets"—let's face it, it's a bit of a silly name that's difficult to take seriously).
"Tweets" can't be covered by a content warning. There's no way to let the poster know you like their tweet without also sharing it, and no bookmark feature.
There's no way to set up your own instance, and you're basically stuck on a single instance of Twitter. That means there's no community moderators you can reach out to to quickly resolve issues. Also, you can't de-federate instances with a lot of problematic content.
It also doesn't Integrate with other fediverse platforms, and I couldn't find the option to turn the ads off.
Really, Twitter has made a good start, but it will need to add a lot of additional features before it gets to the point where it becomes a true Mastodon replacement for most users.

Who am I? I am no one. Just someone who's been lucky enough to work in #Antarctica for 16 years, and is back for another summer season, this time on the #antarcticpeninsula .
I am employed here, but don't represent anyone but me. I'm proud to work in Antarctica, and happy to share with you. Not a #twittermigration .
And it's okay, not everybody is chasing maximum noise in their own use of social network.

You're at the right place! Please say hi 😊 #introductions
Is someone posting about something you don't really wanna see in your feed right now? Boosting too much? Generally making you anxious?
You can mute someone for a few hours or days, after which they'll show up in your feed again.
There's a lot of new people joining right now and if all the new energy is making you a bit stressed or anxious, don't be afraid to mute people for a while 💚🌻🍂
