I'm always pretty sad when I go back and check on new users that I had welcomed and suggested they post an introduction, only to realize they never did and never made another post.... (social.beaware.live)

I have a feeling some of those people are the "Fediverse is too confusing!" People, yet they don't even try.🤦‍♂️

Asking someone to post an introduction is off-putting. Like when a new job makes you publicly introduce and say a "fun fact" about yourself. No one wants to do that, no one (but you) would be interested in reading it. I would not want to be on here if I thought that an awkward introduction was expected of me or considered valuable content. Maybe don't come on so strong? Just a "welcome, glad you're here!" is all you need.

@[email protected] well, you do realize we're on different platforms, right?🤔

Some don't realize I'm on Mastodon, where it's normal to post an introduction and if they don't want to, just don't have to? I'm not saying "post an introduction or leave, dammit!"😅

To be fair, I usually don't intend for any of my posts to go to Lemmy. However, Fedia.io or Mbin have started making posts based on hashtags added. Since Lemmy and Mbin are pretty entwined in a way that Mastodon is not, you see my post on Lemmy.

Though, maybe you know and still disagree.🤷‍♂️
