I have been trying to think of ways of making the Fediverse more Friendly and Welcoming.
To people outside the Fediverse.
To people thinking of joining the Fediverse.
To people who recently joined the Fediverse.
And more.
...
What do YOU think could make the Fediverse more Friendly and Welcoming?

@reiver Encourage a hashtag like Caturday except it’s just positive, funny, and welcoming messages. Maybe #WelcomeWednesday or #Newsday Tuesdays. Also, are follow lists a thing? I agree, if streamlined portability exists, having a staging instance makes sense until users find their people.
@reiver The culture here can be pretty toxic. Too much gate-keeping, tone policing, scolding people instead of leading by example.
And without reply controls, no tools to protect yourself from this.
if we had 100% portability, we should have an intro server. only allow people on there for a couple months but we could give it extra moderation and hand holding. everybody would know to give these folks an extra level of consideration.
