It's a new year, so here's a fresh reminder to get off mastodon.social/online.
Here are some examples of the garbage instances they federate with:
gleasonator.com
noagendasocial.com
shitposter.club
bikeshed.party
@synth_ruiner You can move your account over to another instance. It can take a bit of time to get all your followers and things transferred, as it's done in small batches to not overload servers. Posts don't get moved iirc.
The help page is a bit confusing I think, but it's here:
https://docs.joinmastodon.org/user/moving/#migration
I think it's clearer if you just go to the Account/Account Settings page in your preferences. To start the process you first you need to make an account on another instance.
@gamemakingtools thank you! :)
@gamemakingtools how do you "get off" mastodon anyway? is it possible to move to a different instance or do you just have to make a new account or whatever?
