@IzzyKamikaze Im all for this kind of thing but i have OPINIONS;

Practically: new people should be directed to the mastodaoine hashtag; from there its on us to engage; id also be up for am open night thing as you suggested

Unpractically: Right, im goin to have a wee rant here; its the weekend, im allowed.
Ok so the main push back i get is that people 'dont understand' mastodon; I'm like, "my friend between the stars, you type your bit in the box, push the button, and if the bit is good you get endorphen beeps"
and then they are like 'but whats an instance and how does federation work' and im like "do you ask twitter how their geographic sharding and cluster load balancing works? Are you concerned about their network policy stack? Because, it feels like those questions dont get asked because they dont actually matter for any practical purpose"
Basically this goes on until i realise that for a lot of people, the desire to leave twitter is either entirely performative or (more understandably) the 'discomfort barrier' of change is too high for them and, consciously or otherwise, they just want things to go back to the way they were in 2015, before the timeline split and we ended up in the shadow universe.

ok, sorry, rant over.
