With an account on an instance set up by a guy who seems nice enough but has no incentive to keep it going once he gets bored with it, everything I do on Mastodon feels built on sand....
@Brook Yes, but perhaps the zen impermanence of it all is psychologically beneficial. Facebook and Twitter seem to be bad for our mental health.
@emf You can say that again.
@Brook make multiple accounts - export daily.
@Brook Then focus on the people you're connecting with, instead of the history of what you've said, and backup your followings list often.
If the instance go down, you'll just re-set up shop elsewhere! :)
