Gregory's Server@Gargron I also think it's important for we newcomers to respect that Mastodon has its own cultures and communities that flourished before the Great Twitter Diaspora. Mastodon shouldn't be approached with a sense of making it over in the image of a more familiar platform, but augmented by what new people have to offer. Personally, I'm in awe of the warmth and friendly help being offered so readily, very much appreciated.
@Cotopaxi @Gargron just hope it is not like the twitter of the last few years and more what that platform was more than a decade ago, it was exhausting the hate there. As a newbie I hope to learn the ropes and find some conversation and community.
