A message to fellow white people on here
As a white person is okay to stay out of stuff that doesn't affect you.
We don't have to have an opinion.
Listen to the marginalized and racialized people in your community, as they experience things very different to anything you can understand if you're white.
You do not have to inject your experiences, you can just listen. Listening takes practice. Practice listening.

Advice to new people from Twitter
There have been many waves of exodus from Twitter. When new people arrive they often bring with them their larger-than-life Twitter persona with them. I understand what that's all about, because it's how Twitter trains people to behave if they want to be seen and engage with their audience and so that the timeline algorithm works in their favour.
But here in the fediverse you don't need to put on a big performance. You can be more authentic, and just hang out with friends. Edginess which would be rewarded by the algorithm on Twitter tends to be discouraged here, and might even get you blocked.

people you @ in your DMs can read your DMs
just treat it as a space where you probably won't but totally could be overheard, which you should be doing anyway, and take anything weirder or more sensitive to a platform you actively know is secure
