People grumbling that #Mastodon is slow at the moment... You just turned up with 1 million people in a tiny, rural village and you're complaining there's a queue to get into the only tearoom, which is run by gay pensioners Babs & Maureen as a retirement hobby on Mons-Weds. Relax!
#TwitterMigration
To my new followers: You will experience delays as both a new signup (email delays) & an existing user (slow service; inability to load images, etc). It will settle down. Patience will be required. Remember, Mastodon is run by volunteers. It's not corporate & is still in the process of upscaling.
Mastodon is different. It's polite and friendly. There's a different code of conduct (please look up some of the basics), a slower pace. It's not a sprawling, hectic shopping centre in a grim industrial park on the city rim; it's a pleasant village street with artisanal shops and cafes. Take your time. Be nice.

And this is why I'm starting to dig it, even though I haven't found my people, yet. It's very #SlowLife (#IYKYK) and it's growing on me.
I just hope my fellow #Twitter escapees don't come over here and shit all over everything (like when a bunch of ill-mannered yuppies move to a quaint, quiet town and ruin it for everybody, including the insufferable seasonal tourists that the local residents love to hate and hate to love).
