       Seriously disliking the instability of Mastodon. That’s something that’s going to need fixing if this is going to work.

       @corbden what exactly is unstable here?

       @randunel I dunno, I had to move servers after less than six months here because the admin got dogpiled over a ridiculous issue and that’s still causing me problems finding stuff from my archive. Now there’s some big war over .art and .social that I’m not going to try to unravel but it’s affecting people. When Meta hits, who knows what’s going to happen but the early rumbles aren’t looking good. There are serious flaws in the federation model being glossed over but in a practical senses they need polishing. Making it easier to move servers without losing history would be a good start, some kind of online data preservation if an instance poofs or is defederated, too. The whole model rests upon freedom to move instances but that isn’t really a “choice” in every way that it needs to be. Do I own my data here? Not really. Not practically. It’s not beholden to any corporation, but it IS beholden to a mob.

       @corbden@defcon.social @randunel@mastodon.org.uk if you want to switch servers but keep your posts, try moving to a Calckey instance instead of Mastodon. You can continue talking to the rest of the fediverse as usual, though with a different interface.
