With the upcoming #Meta situation, it looks like there's going to be a split in the #Fediverse, and a lot of small instances will defederate from larger instances like mastodon.(social|online) because they're federating with Meta.

Maybe I should move instances before that happens, so I don't lose half my social graph. I was planning to self-host anyway, but Tapir isn't ready and won't be for a while.

I've thought about moving to #fosstodon, I have a lot of mutuals there and I like its culture.

Fosstodon didn't participate in the NDA conversation and is planning to "wait and see" about federation with Meta, which seems like a good policy. Though I do worry if they'll still be defederated by some of the more intensely anti-Meta instances because they'll federate with Meta at first.

@arnelson a good rule of thumb is “screw instances defederating as per guilty by association”. If an instance defederates yours not because there’s something wrong with it but because it federates with another instance they think there’s something wrong with, it’s a bad instance and fuck them.

@arnelson i would prob recommend gotosocial for solo instance at this point — every baseline (except polls) is fully functional, and all data is in one single database, so even backups and migration should be fairly easy later on
