PEOPLE, IT'S ME, and I'm moving from Mastodon.social to Mstdn.social.
I'm real, it's not a fake account.
I've been publicly talking about a move for a long time.

HA!
@GottaLaff Yeah just checked it again, it still exists. You basically put a link to your profile onto a website that you control, and put the URL of that website onto one of the extra fields in your profile (see mine, called 'Verify' in this case).
If the website you linked has the profile link in it, the verification is valid.
I don't know the nuts and bolts, but I'm on another instance moderated by @stux who administers mstdn.social and he does pretty well filtering out such.
Itβs proof!
@GottaLaff @catsalad When I saw you say "It's me", I thought "yeah, but that's exactly what a Laffy impersonator would say".
But the Womping has convinced me. Welcome to your new server!
Oh, and I don't know how much transferred automatically and how much didn't, but I'm still following you without my having to do anything, so that's a least one thing that worked.

Hope the move goes smoothly from here!
@GottaLaff
Brought this for the housewarming: πΎ
Hope you enjoy your new home!
@GottaLaff Oh sure, that's just what a fake account would say! π
Good for you! I'll watch to see how the auto-move of your followers goes, and if it doesn't take me over I will just follow again manually.
I need to move too, but am hoping to find a smaller boutique home at some point.

@NeoRenfield @stux I lost 126 and don't really care.
I DO care about my lists.
Laffyβs REAL βBig Move!β
Bonus points for the "Yes I'm Moving!" note on your old profile. Saved me from bothering you with a "Is this real?" #1,143,054 query. π
(Which I've kind of voided with this reply, but ah well π)
@GottaLaff
Yeah, because I've never seen a scammer or a clone insist that they're the original copy. Sounds totally legit to me.
