This made me laugh Ben.
I have just left Toxic Twitter, Following you any chance of a Follow back?
Of course! Welcome.
Follow liberally, interact, there are about 400x less active people on this platform so every interaction is worth many times more (so don't be disheartened if you post something and don't get an avalanche of responses). It'll take a second to adjust. There is no algorithm so boosting is the only way to share others content. Follow hashtags you're interested in. You'll want to follow Lisa Melton, Alice McFlurry, Deniz Opal, Ricki Tarr and anyone from the beige.party instance (I haven't done their links because they're always suggested and get pulled into a huge response thread and, although are very gracious about it, probably don't want to constantly be responding! You can find them through search).
I would also humbly suggest...

A more wretched hive of scum and villainy.... ONLY JOKING - they're all lovely and interesting and interacty and you'll discover worlds within worlds within their feed and they're also prolific boosters so you'll be able to find lots more lovely people. I wish you all the very best. Happy Friday. 😊
@TheBreadmonkey Are you saying some of us ENJOY constantly responding, she said menacingly...
Well, sort of true ; )
I'd add @mikako6 to your short list, as she is lovely, shares great stuff.
Also, @CoachMark is supportive, interesting, and probably head coach (the good kind) for beige party.
@mtechman Very kind of you, Melissa - I appreciate all you bring to the Fediverse as well.
@CoachMark @mtechman @TheBreadmonkey
It's been two years since I left Twitter.
Mastodon is a comfortable place for me.
Thank you too, Melissa! 🙏❤️
@mikako6 @mtechman @TheBreadmonkey
Yes - a much better place with the ability to control one's social media experience at a much greater level.
Happy Friday to all of you.
