I wouldn’t have guessed that DMs would be the catalyst for #Twitter refugees to lose faith in #Mastodon.

To be fair, I did expect the unfriendliness of pre-existing #Fediverse communities to be the actual reason, and I’m not wrong on the meta observation.

A large chunk of the intersection of Black + queer + tech communities from Twitter have already given up on the Fediverse, due to the entrenched baditudes here.
