       @mastodonusercount #EternalSeptember comes to mind.I think it's reasonable for this influx of new users (including some particularly high-profile ones) to change some of the dynamics here, but I really hope that my fellow new arrivals appreciate just how cool this moment is, and how big of an opportunity it can be.https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternal_September

       I have an important request.Bad actors will soon figure out - if they haven't already - that setting up impersonations of important organizations now will allow them to set off an explosion of chaos and confusion at a time of their choosing.So if you run an account for an organization, please set up link verification between your Mastodon account profile and your organization's website.If not, please boost.Instructions are here under "Link Verification":https://docs.joinmastodon.org/user/profile/
