OldandCrankySo how do I migrate to another server , again? Slowly, because I am old and feeble.
Rae 🔮@Oldandcranky create a new account on a new instance and then go to account settings here and select move to another account. I’m about to try it now, if I never come back I either did it or screwed up.
@mogeauxs how do you choose an "instance" and why the hell are they called instances? That strikes me as grammatically bizarre.
@pineywoozle ‘s #3WordNote@Oldandcranky @mogeauxs Mastodon wasn’t set up by an American. It’s why he didn’t know that toot means fart to a whole lot of Americans lol There are somethings like that that make more sense if you look at them as translations.
Each server (instance) is a small node set up and populated but in contact with all the others in the fediverse.

@Pineywoozle hah! I was kind of wondering about that toot thing...
@Oldandcranky #Toot is the word for the sound an Elephant makes LoL What we would call a trumpet. There’s also a funny story about it that I’ll find and post when I get time.
I hope you didn’t delete your #Twitter account. If you did, you might want to reinstate it then just #LockAndLeave so your name and former @ replies can’t be spoofed by bots.
@Pineywoozle That's what I've done. I locked it up.
@Oldandcranky Perfect! #lockAndLeave
Btw are you as crabby as I am that the downtime we were all hoping for post election is being spent on all this😜
