       Have noticed a hostile, anti-newcomer theme from some parts of Mastodon. Like any new platform, people *will* find it difficult at first. People will vocally complain based on their previous experience on other social media.Instead of doubling down and getting pissed off, let's work together. Be inquisitive as to why people sometimes stumble when they get here.Remember what it was like when you first joined the social media behemoths.Adopt a beginners mind, and help each other out.

       You can't — on one hand — denounce the toxicity of Twitter, Elon Musk, and other platforms, and on the other, patronize new users of Mastodon by telling them they're "using it wrong", or that their feelings of confusion are invalid.
