@Linux What's the latest and greatest?

@housepanther

Interesting. You can post even after moving your account. That's new.

At the moment, for myself, working, and also considering moving my main account. The admin is friendly (mivatter.com), but they’re not very experienced, and I’d rather not keep dealing with the growing pains.

@Linux You can always come to #VivaldiSocial. 🙂

@epp

Let’s have that conversation.

I like Vivaldi. I like Vivaldi Social. But you’re still a corporation. I may in the future need to say things, from a public relations standpoint, that could be bad—things that, while you still have a U.S.A. office, would be bad.

I do have an account on Vivaldi Social, @NetscapeNavigator
. But there are lines there that I’ll never cross, but may need to cross if things here in America get as bad as I suspect.

Vivaldi is mostly something I use carefully.

@Linux @NetscapeNavigator

I'm happy that you like Vivaldi Social and Vivaldi. I'm in the U.S. myself, somewhat near Vivaldi's office. I do not speak for @Vivaldi, but it is a small company.

As long as your posts don't violate any of our server rules as shown on https://social.vivaldi.net/about, Vivaldi's Community Code of Conduct and/or Terms of Use, you'll be fine. 👍

Vivaldi Social

Vivaldi Social is part of the Mastodon network and is hosted in Iceland by the makers of Vivaldi Browser. Everyone is welcome to join.

Mastodon hosted on Vivaldi Social

@epp

Which I perfectly comprehend. And why my primary account will not be on Vivaldi Social.

@NetscapeNavigator @Vivaldi

@Linux I changed my mind about running my own instance. It’s so much easier just to use Vivaldi’s
@Linux I cancelled the transfer. I didn’t know I could until I logged in and saw that there was an option to cancel the account redirection.

@housepanther

Vivaldi Social is using a modified copy of Mastodon. So this will be interesting.

Other Fedi sites still show you've moved because it is not meant to be undone (see screenshot). But when visiting you on Vivaldi, everything looks normal (see other screenshot).

I am curious on how this will play out.

@Linux

You could always move here. 👋

@Rimuru

The reason I often use Mastodon as a fallback is that it’s typically limited to 500 characters, whereas Misskey starts at around 3,000 characters.

This allows me to be as clear as possible when explaining things, reducing the chance of misunderstandings (unless someone is intentionally trying to misunderstand). It also prevents trolls from cutting into a thread and burying your message. In the past, I’ve experienced this, and what I said was easily taken out of context.

@Linux

Your concern surrounding the character limit should not be a problem. 😉
