My recommendation is that CS try to mimic Twitter as much as possible, to make it easier and more comfortable for twitter users to migrate over and be 100% engaged - esp since Elon is erratic and trigger-happy. Make it a smooth transition, then implement changes/improvements later. Tell everyone to create a CS account using the EXACT twitter handle, bio, etc. MAKE THIS EASY. Trust me on this:)
@CheriJacobus It pretty much is that way, if, like me - you were used to using tweet deck. Instead of a heart you have a star, and it's not all about the follows and likes here - it's much more a community conversation.
@PirateWench I never used the tweet deck, so this is new and intimidating
@CheriJacobus @PirateWench I use CoSo on my phone so it does feel similar to Twitter to me.
@CheriJacobus @PirateWench It gets easier.
@CheriJacobus Cheri if you haven't totally left Twitter yet give Tweetdeck a try just so you can get a feel for how powerful it is
I used to more regularly participate in Twitter chats & being able to devote a hashtag to them in a column was great.
Same for following individual accounts. Because the Twitter algorithm would interfere.
What I need to do is play with columns here more to see what all they can do.
@CheriJacobus @PirateWench
Just take it slow and easy. You can slow down the firehose by scrolling.
The My Friends column is for your followers and is a lot easier to keep up with.
You can also do the ostrich setting which I haven't tried yet.
Most of all, feel free to reach out and ask questions.
Good luck and WELCOME!

Ostrich is great!
@CheriJacobus @PirateWench Cheri, I’m 100% confident you will get the hang of this interface; it just takes a few cumulative hours to get used to it!
You might even find yourself switching to TweetDeck when you are on the bird network!
@CheriJacobus Ahh. When I first got here a couple months ago, I was totally lost, but loved the column set up I was used to. I hope you adjust quickly and get some feedback.
