I thought I had read somewhere that you can save or download or re-post your things after you migrate, anybody know anything about that?

Here's some hashtags because there wasn't room in the above post:

#fedimigration #MastoArt #postlimit #500characterlimit

There's just not room for user tags, hash tags AND a post in only 500 characters.

This is total crap post, text to image no-Alt in a platform dominated by #500characterlimit federated dictators

When is it that you will adopt a no-Alt no post policy and stop reproducing this non-sense?

@actapopuli

#mastodon =
rust crap of wannabe Twitter fascists = federation of individual dictators forming their own little communities to dictate on

#fediverse the absolute digital #neoliberal platform where owners are dictators and users are guests in their federation of non-free non-public anything space

Imagine if the earth turned into such a fascist dystopia as #mastodon has become

I will continue here because I am sick and tired of the wannabe twitter dictating #500characterlimit in most servers, not this one.

#fediverse is useless and contains much of the pathology #indymedia displayed.

What I identified as problems in the past phase 2000-2015 was fractionalism.

What happened in the early stages of indy explosion and the 100 servers worldwide, was ideological antagonists attempting to take over and control something booming and exercise their authority as "protectors" of the movement. Same thing that happens in physical proximity to any growing movement in any geography.

Eventually one of the "protecting" vanguards "wins" and forms a shrinking ghetto of fan boys (and gals) further isolating society from the real discussion everyone wants to avoid.

Then the authority is used to prevent criticism because public discourse revealing details empowers state agencies to repress the movement.

Vanguards of the movement must be protected at all costs, the public forum is not the place for such discussion, it should be done "internally". Internal to what? Small groups formed of personal relationships and to whom some are internal, everyone else is an outsider. ... and the distinction is based on you not being critical.

Can you tell whether I have Trotskyists, Stalinists, or Anarchists in mind while I am saying this? Because I sure can't tell the difference.

There were very few and hard to achieve balances where true discussion about all this was allowed to work out in the open, usually when moderators were too busy with other things than to censor who is saying what to whom and about whom.

Out of curiosity hit the registration page of this server and read the last rule. Tell me how you can interpret it, and whether this interpretation can be used for or against all of us.

Why, How, with Who .. can any of those questions be answered adequately and politically? If not the forum is useless.
