Fediverse nettiquette for the US midterms?

# orderedItems[].object.content
I'm sure today's going to bring a flood of US midterm news and discussions.
Don't know what that's going to look like, in a Fediverse suddenly bursting with fresh new Twitter expats.

If Mastodon veterans have thoughts, advice, netiquette tips for approaching this, I'd love to hear and boost.

I'm with you here -- I'm seeing a ton of my existing Twitter network, but I feel like it might be a while before I'm surprised by new faces.

But I hope we'll have the same thing here we did at the birdsite: we'll discover people one by one, through friends and follows, or word of mouth.

Here's hoping!

אני כן עדיין עם טוויטר פעיל, אבל וואלה המצב שם לא נשמע מזהיר.

מה שכן מאד שימח אותי הוא לראות הרבה מהקהילה שלי מהגרת לכאן, כמעט במקשה, מה שהופך את המעבר לקל -- וגם, לפחות כרגע, באמת יש כאן תחושה נורא קהילתית, אינטמית; אינטרנט מהדור הישן.

I will follow wherever the shop-talk goes! 😂

A good while back I had a nice weekly short-story club. We'd pick something from a different place each time, and discuss it in comment-threads. It was a great way to get a sense of range.

Super hard to keep people involved consistently, though. I wonder if I could do it again now, with this place a little slower-paced, more communal.

(Of these, the Story Structure/Discworld one has been up and I'm immensely pleased with it:

The other two I delivered last month! They're great!
--they're just, ummm, in Hebrew. Working on translating them for wider use...)

Hey all! I am kind of delighted to see many many of my favorite Twitter people already here.

Hi all!
Standback here.
Brand new to Mastodon, and I'll probably start out more lurk-y than talk-y...
