I wish someone would grab a megaphone and say "THIS IS NOT TWITTER" for like an hour straight.

I'm seeing so much Twitter behavior out there, and it's a bit distressing.

Lots of hot takes, not a CW in sight, tons of heavy media usage without thinking of the cost to the instance owners who run things out of kindness.

Dear God, corporate social media has turned us into thoughtless wildebeests. 😓

@RL_Dane @leo 🌶️ You have to expect a bumpy ride on a shake down cruise. To be completely honest, that’s an unreasonable expectation to have for the general population. This is an opportunity that will improve the platform and it’s up to devs and admins to step up and make good on the marketing. I hope someone is working on a long term moderation strategy because you are absolutely correct, it’s a bit Wild West out here. Tho currently quite wholesome in my experience.

@nikig @leo

You're right. I'm just hoping that the beautiful community we've built so far doesn't get railroaded by twitterisms. :D

I'm glad they're here, though. I just wish they'd listen to the veterans a bit more (not counting myself in that, I'm just a first-waver (late April)) :)
