I am moving instances. New account is @TimPhon

I'm following a tutorial for migrating over. Hope to make this as seamless as possible.

Haven't had any problem with mastodon.social, just looking for a smaller community-vibe, and many of my #linguistics friends are already over there.

Looking forward to sharing some new stuff shortly!

It feels like the more Mastodon instance shutdowns we see, the more important it gets to think about how to enable migrating posts. Migrating a user's follows/followers is good, but for a user to lose their entire post history is pretty severe. And the longer you use a server, the more painful it gets to lose that history of everything you've ever written.

Landing in Turkey soon & watching local news. Beyond devastating. UN estimates now 50,000 dead, 105,000+ injured, & 10M affected or displaced.

And they are still pulling people out of the rubble. 😳

INCOMING HOT TAKE - YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

The federal minimum wage should be set to equal the following:

[MinWage = (R x 3)/H/W]

Where:
R = Average Rent of 1BR Studio Apt
H = Federally Defined Full-time Hours (40)
W = Average Weeks per Month (4)

Why?

Because landlords require you to show that you earn 3 times the rent before they will even consider your rental application. This formula would ensure that anyone working a full-time job (or two part-time jobs) could afford to pay rent in the smallest possible sized apartment.

In my area, the average rent is $1,400 for a studio/efficiency apartment.

[(1400x3)/40/4 = $28.13/hr.]
