when the bsky exodus happens, please remember these things:
- dont be the fucking mastodon hoa. everyone hates those people. nobody cares if you think someone should be using a platform "your way". it drives people away. fucking stop it.
- dont shame them for going to bsky. do not mock them, do not give them grief. they made a mistake, and if they come back here, dont shit on them for it.
- make them feel better by coming here, not worse.
- i cannot overemphasize this: dont be the motherfucking mastodon hoa. the entire reason bsky has been as successful as it was, is because too many people here told people "how to behave" on their first day, or shamed them because "they werent doing it right"
if you want mastodon to thrive, you have to make it "worth it to come here". nobody likes being shamed by rando strangers.
@Viss 100% this. I've deleted draft toots plenty of times because I was worried it wasn't a proper post for Mastodon. I haven't used bsky nearly as much but I never felt that way when I did.
@InsiderTreat @Viss That's because bsky IS twitter. People there are encouraged to NOT care.
I think it's ok to tell fediverse discoverers what is considered good etiquette and what is not (even if it's something that evolves with the community, including newcomers, of course).
We do NOT need the fediverse to turn into open source twitter...
Besides most people who come from twitter/bsky EXPECT something like twitter/bsky and they NEED to understand it is NOT.
@ZoidbergForPresident @Viss and this is where I would normally feel the regret of posting because someone shows up to tell me I'm doing it wrong. 
@raphaelmorgan Seeing how his latest post ended ("I am right"), allow me to -playfully- remind you of a nice feature in some cases: hiding accounts.
You'll never personally interact with them and they'll "never know". It's not failure: you tried.
Peace to you and feel free to critizise the way I do things (or the things I say). Please, and thank you.
