If you grew tired of #Waffles and bigotry on #BlueSky, then welcome to #Mastodon.
We're far from perfect here, but we're truly decentralized, so there is a safe and accepting server for everyone. Bigots and the servers that tolerate them are blocked in short order without waffling.
Please introduce yourself, fill out your profile, set up your content filters, and feel free to ask for help if you need it.
Welcome to the Fedi.
To all refugees form #BlueSky - welcome. This is a place of oddity, peculiarity, and lovely people.
It can take a little longer to find your place here, but you will, if you try. So welcome, and say hello.
of course. the influx here is due to a transphobe troll intent on abuse and torment there
so the tormentors follow here
it's ok
this is #mastodon/ #fediverse:
we have no problem nuking these accounts from orbit, unlike #bluesky

Wait a minute... wait a minute now... The Bluesky CEO everyone hates is named "Jay" and for weeks now a troll has been making a million alts with the username "J." Seems a little sus... Could it be that Jimmy Truth and Bluesky Jay are one and the same!?

A quick welcome to #BlueSky leavers, it's lovely to have you here. I hope you enjoy a non-billionaire-curated, no-algorithm, chronological feed of the people you actually follow (and what they boost).
If you have questions, feel free to ask people. We're generally pretty nice about helping new folk to adjust to things here.
Quick primer: CW your posts about politics, traumatic things, and so on.
Use alt-text; many of us will not boost a post that does not have it. Accessibility matters.
Use and follow hashtags.
And post an #introduction. It helps a lot for others to grant your follow request if you have a profile, a PFP, and an introduction (which you can periodically update as it changes).
If you're Black, be aware there are many, many white folk here with good intentions, who have NOT DONE THE WORK. My friend @Impossible_PhD says in these cases, BRAVO:
Block; Report; And Vibe On.
If an instance admin does not respond or responds badly, inform your own instance's admins, and let them deal with it appropriately.
Have fun! Welcome to Fedi!
How do I stop all Blue Sky content from getting boosted or otherwise injected into my timeline?
Filters don't seem to work.
Oh this is exciting. I've just heard that John Mastodon himself is going to make a rare public announcement to welcome the latest wave of arrivals from #Bluesky.
I got caught up on the kerfuffle over on Bluesky.
Jeebus. Really, Jay?
If you're coming over to Mastodon from Bluesky, welcome! I hope you find this space fulfilling. It's not perfect, but it's been good enough for me since about 2018.
For those of us who are Mastodon vets, please boost the introduction posts, and make our new friends welcome.

If you're trying to get folks to ditch #bluesky in favor of the fediverse, maybe instead of sending them needlessly complicated explainers, something like this might be useful.

Leute, was ist denn hier los? Ich werde mit Followern vollgeballert, meist englischsprachig! Ist #X kaputt? #Threads im Eimer? Sind das nu alles Bots - oder was?! 🤔 #Bluesky
I Don’t Really Interact
I don’t really interact with the content or people on any social media site that I am on. I will post things from outside that particular social media platform, but I don’t actually spend that much time interacting with anyone on any social media platform.
