This is yet another guide to Mastodon for people leaving Twitter. I found it clear and useful. Indeed, it occurred to me as I read it that there is probably some interesting research to be done comparing how different people have introduced the concepts and technoilogy behind Mastodon to new users. It would be interesting to see what makes them different - different metaphors, different emphasis on features, etc. - and whether one type of description could be said to be more useful (or effective, or whatever) for readers. Did videos help? Graphics? There are still plenty of people unfamiliar with Mastodon to test this out on, but don't wait. I won't be doing this - I have nothing like the time - but it should be done.
