I'm seeing comments from the #TwitterMigration crowd saying "isn't it exciting being here at the start?"

Guys, please remember #mastodon has been here and in use for years, not just sitting empty, waiting for you to discover it.

Every major digital migration I've seen has had moments of tension as different approaches and cultures collide. So it would be a good start if we all took extra care not to sound like colonisers disregarding the existence of the natives who've been here forever.
