technomancynow that I've upgraded to gotosocial 0.21 I'll be muting accounts on mastodon.social that I don't already follow
I get it that account migration is a pain but please consider finding a better instance!
when I first switched to gotosocial in mid-2023 it was a little rough; there were some missing features I had gotten used to from mastodon, but still worth it
over the years they've improved things, mostly caught up, and even gone significantly further than mastodon in some cases (markdown, reply controls)
being able to do this kind of selective muting where it doesn't sever connections to accounts you already follow is the last of the features I was missing from Mastodon!
chop wood, carry water@technomancy if you don't mind me asking, how hard was it to switch server software?
@bjc oh, I didn't switch server software; I still have my old alt up at https://icosahedron.website/@technomancy on someone else's server
starting my own was very easy: https://technomancy.us/201
but it's even easier now that you can install thru apt: https://apt.technomancy.us/
tech? no! man, see... (@[email protected])

@technomancy thanks, that makes sense. it's kind of a shame that it's easier to change domains than swap out server software.
turns out there's already a freebsd package for gts, so i think i'll spend this weekend trying it out. have you switched frontends from pinafore since the author's stopped maintaining it?
@bjc yes, I'm using enafore now
it has some bugs that pinafore didn't, but it collapses repeated notifications so it's totally worth it
