hi new users! this is a reminder that mastodon's culture is NOT the same as twitter's-- you're entering a community, not a void, and we're reading your posts and want to interact with you
please don't treat this place as "twitter but with a new ui." the influx has been overwhelming for some of us who've been around for a while, we're happy to see new faces but please be considerate of the people around you as you join this space. thank u
@cxli thank you I didn't knew that :) thought I needed it to be a reply to that.
@sonjalemke @MaxiReimers oh, pro tip; if you want to tag someone into a post without notifying the op, you can delete the @ of the person you're replying to. i won't get notifs for replies if i'm not tagged in them
(i got confused and wondered if i was missing someone's post bc some instances are silenced here, so i wouldn't be able to see their posts)
