The invasion reference was regarding #mastodon. I've been there for a while and I noticed when a lot of people came on board at once - around the time Musk went crazy with Twitter - the #fediverse natives were wary of the change in #culture.
It's calmed down now and the two groups have reached an understanding as the service evolved. But for awhile the natives felt invaded by a lot of people who thought differently to them and outnumbered them.
We're in that pre launch stage now. I'm wondering if we'll deal with it better. I think we will because it's a lot more heterogeneous here already so the culture shock will be minimal.
I think so anyway. I just wondered how other felt.
