Message for our followers:

This Mastodon account will migrate to a new server tomorrow (Saturday). We're making this change because the med-mastodon.com server is expected to shut down by the end of the month.

https://mastodonapp.uk/@wild1145/116156385290604411

The migration process should automatically transfer all of our followers to the new account. But in case of errors our new account can be found here:

Thanks! ❤️

I'd like to **duplicate** all my follows (not followERs) to my backup account, but not remove them from this account.
#Mastodon doesn't seem to make that possible. Do I have that right?

Vivaldi desktop browser has some advantageous features like proton VPN being baked in, nice integrations email, rss feeds, and Mastodon...

Vivaldi Android browser? Not so much. No VPN, other integrations, or even google chrome extensions support.

What History Reveals About Anthony Van Dyck: The Subtle Tricks Behind His “Effortless” Elegance

Anthony Van Dyck didn’t just paint portraits—he engineered power.

In the years leading up to the English Civil War, monarchy relied as much on image as authority. Van Dyck understood this better than anyone.

@filippo Moving to non-Mastodon software can break a federation as well where you might be lost completely.

I have the same misunderstanding in the design of Mastodon.

Why don't they support resolving the instance by DNS? It would give a chance to have a mastodon instance outside of the main domain. I don't want to expose an ActivityPub data on the main domain, the domain is not related to my Social Media.

Having a unique domain/subdomain for Mastodon makes no sense at all as well. The idea of having domain is to have many underlying services there. We don't need to create unique domains for:
- website
- XMPP
- Email
- etc.
It should be one domain with all those identity services behind it.

It would also give a simpler change to have multiple identities on the same instance. Just like email.

We'd pay some subscription to a public instance (that already have all of those caches/huge db/etc.), with our domains.

As a result, you don't own infra, but you own your identity. If you want to migrate, just switch to another instance (obviously subscribers and posts might require some process).

Most importantly, it would not cost any more for mastodon.social, for instance, to give you a chance to point your domain's identity there.

You should not self-host it, it's too expensive for small batch of users (due to caches, reading history, media, etc.
