Do you agree that it brings a lot of intimidation? And it actually does the reverse hence no one will ask? All my feed is these starter packs and no junior in it, repetitive names of seniors everywhere instead. I think the community didn’t think of that.

I don't necessarily agree that it's intimidating, but I do agree that the bias towards known seniors is frustrating as a junior. I post stuff, nobody replies, it sucks. But if you just ask about being part in the starter packs, you may at least get a good follower base. At least it worked for me

I am not saying that based on my own personal experience. Intimidation is general among juniors, lots of them already gave up on bluesky, etc. You don’t need to get responses, you should just be a part of the community.

Oh, yeah, that's true. When I first got a Twitter to engage in the community I was also very intimidated. But I think being somewhat persistent about liking+commenting stuff and that getting an occasional reaction does break the ice, to the point that it becomes a nice way to randomly approach ppl

My point is, when a migration is happening, everyone should think of the side effects. No one should lose what they already built with difficulty and go through it again.
I get your point, just trying to point out to a detail being ignored here.

erpel.bsky.social•96 days ago

Yeah, true, nevertheless a fair point. But again, I'd say the starter packs can and do actually help the migration, one just needs to be daring enough to ask to be included, I guess

elnaza.bsky.social•96 days ago

Yeah. It never hurts to remind the seniors too.The health and functionality of the community relies on them. Being a part of the starter pack should be helping for both sides, find whoever that finds you. Otherwise, it’s not ok.
