       Due to technical limitations with mastodon's architecture - which does not support domain name changes or data migration - dialup.cafe will be closing permanently in one month.Dialup.cafe instance users: please see the server announcement and get thine affairs in order. 💀

       in case anyone is curious about the underlying cause of it being impossible to migrate a mastodon server from one domain to another, this limitation is due to the activitypub protocol itself, which (simplifying for brevity) uses the equivalent of absolute/hardcoded URLs for posts@silverpill wrote this fediverse enhancement proposal that would allow for relative domain names. given that it was written a year ago, and with the molasses-like development the protocol has, i sadly suspect it's unlikely to be integrated any time soon.more here:https://codeberg.org/fediverse/fep/src/branch/main/fep/e3e9/fep-e3e9.md#mastoAdmin #fediverse #activityPub

       @vga256 FEP-e3e9 (Actor-Relative URLs) is not my FEP.I wrote FEP-ef61 (Portable objects):https://codeberg.org/fediverse/fep/src/branch/main/fep/ef61/fep-ef61.mdIt currently has 3 independent implementations.
