My First Week..My thoughts

I have been on #pluspora now for a week. Being a #gplusrefugee I , like many of you, experienced a sadness upon hearing the news of the future sunsetting of #googleplus for consumers. I was looking for an exact replacement. I almost abandoned pluspora altogether in my frustration of not understanding its setup, layouts and functionality.i also felt isolated, uncertain and downright humbled. I set it aside and recently decided to give it another chance.

I tried a couple other platforms but they didn't feel like home to me. I decided one day last week to explore pluspora again. Within an hour, I was clicking away , adding hashtags and using the toggle mobile feature. I also discovered many posts, most were very welcoming and filled with great tips for beginners and kind messages. I also noticed some disparaging ones regarding the existing #diaspora* members' disdain for the caliber of people they feared would be flooding over here from #gplus.
✨?✨
For those who have been welcoming #newhere members with kindness and helpful tips, I want to say thank you. You've been a wealth of information for me and others as we are learning the ropes and looking for a new home. For those afraid of the type of people you fear, I say, have an open mind and use that energy to guide and assist us so that we all enjoy coming here together.

I have met some wonderful people here already; ones from gplus that I never knew and new ones entirely. All have been so kind and made me feel welcomed. If you're new and feel lost, you're not alone, hang in there and don't be afraid to reach out and ask questions. I really think this will be my new home when #googleplus is no more. It is my that you will come to feel the same.
I will be on very limitedly over the next couple weeks as I've exceeded my cellular data and my wifi is out. Please understand as I am not ignoring you, I just have limited access ( more like slower than dial-up access), until my plan renews.
Have a wonderful day and a great week
Thank you,
Mia Dees
