GarHot take: closing registrations on this instance will have been the secret sauce needed to make federation really take off, and others should follow pattern. Lots of instances with limited registration numbers is a good thing for now.
Sneaking Mission@Gar I'm not 100% familiar with how federation works here, but is there a good way of make another instance my primary account? If I decide to use another instance how can I continue to see interactions made on the account here other than asking people to follow the new account instead?
@SneakyMission It's akin to changing your email address currently, unfortch.
My advice is do it sooner than later, or wait and hope they later add some sort of identity management?
I am on vacation this week otherwise I'd be spinning up a new instance myself to see how easy it is / how much it'll cost me.
@Gar Ah, ok. Yeah that kind of sucks. Not sure how to tell which one is the "right" instance to set up shop in permanently. I have my social from several months ago and just created an .xyz account, but not sure I can tell if one is better than the other or how I could choose. Maybe setting up a personal instance is the only way to really control that but then I'm stuck into maintaining/paying for it forever. No really good solution any way from what I can tell.
@Gar gar plz fix it
@SneakyMission Well if you're willing to wait I can 75% guarantee at this point there will be a danger.computer shard next week?
@SneakyMission no wait boathole.com omg I've been WAITING for an excuse to use that domain.
