Okay, Import complete, everyone who was following me at @iMartyn should now be following me @martyn , but if not, hey, it's still me! I'm just waiting for the federation to start playing well...I understand it takes a while.
@draft13 who would have thought shutting down the instance would cause more work for you not less huh?
@draft13 yeah, there's no error on the import screen except "not found" - I assume because it's not on an instance someone follows, so I tried searching for the user and that's where the error comes.
Hey @draft13 I'm trying to move my followers but it's giving a 503 Remote Certificate could not be validated for toot.martyn.berlin which has a valid letsencrypt cert... any chance you could add the LE root cert to the server so I could move smoothly?
Twitch sings, a karaoke game online is shutting down at the end of the year. I'm sad, angry, helpless, devastated... Some of these people I've sung with nearly 50 times each over the past year and there's just no replacement. The one good thing twitch did was get mechanical and sync licences for these songs and allow us to sing together. Now it's going away and it's like a bad breakup. The community that it built up is going to dissolve and there's not a lot anyone can do.
I'm quite seriously thinking of coding a replacement for twitch sings that works with any video and just passes around the vocal recording and sync information. Of course it couldn't actually be used by 90% of the people who are about to be left in the lurch because licensing.
Insomnia because my brain won't shut down. Processing the news that one of the things keeping me sane during these crazy times is being taken away. Trying to find solutions but commercial interests are, as always, against the small folk. The music industry is definitely not about helping anyone but the music industry bosses.

@robert it’s been really fun hanging out with you all for the last couple of years and being kept busy as part of the team.

Three cheers to @robert for hosting us for so long and bringing us all together!

@kernpanik I'm no expert but that looks like a birb. 😎🤣
@Magess @pabs @stragu that's not universal. In British English we say "the 31st of October". Cause and effect are very strange here.
