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.

friendly reminder: the nicer you are to people who arrive here from other platforms, the better chances that they will stick around, and not bail because they were shamed away for one reason or another.
