Lexi Alexander@20kqueso @escamoteur see...i'm not tech wise enough to understand any of this. I can't even figure out how to switch servers. But say a server becomes really successful for Palestinian activism, couldn't he shut it down?
Brother in Pounded Prostate@LexiA @20kqueso @escamoteur No. At least not by anyone behind Mastodon. As long as someone - either an organization or private person - pays for and maintains the server, it should be reachable.

How to migrate from one Mastodon server to another without losing followers:
1. Sign up on new server
2. On NEW server: Go to "Account" and find "Moving FROM another account."
3. Enter old account's handle
4. On OLD server: Go to "Account" and find "Moving TO another account"
5. Enter new account's handle and submit
@LexiA (And "Account" is found under "Preferences" if you're using a desktop browser. In the official mobile app, it's the gear icon, and then "Account Settings."
