I’m so confused!

At first @film_girl dismisses worries about defaulting to mastodon.social as “drama and virtue signaling”.

Then she says that migrating from mastodon.social to elsewhere has a big cost because you “can’t take your posts with you.”

Well, this is why mastodon.social shouldn’t be set as the default server to join: stuff like full text search aren’t supported on it, while that feature is supported on other servers.

This concern isn’t virtue signalling.

Good thread.

Since no one mentioned it, I will.

Do some research before you pick an instance.
