@kbm0 @AnnaAnthro 1-in-12 males are red/green colourblind... I half-joked I would have a meet-cute asking a lady how ripe these bananas are at the grocery store.

... this could be QUITE useful from an a11y angle.

@nikclayton @WTL I sorta figured that a few minutes after I posted... still doesn't explain why they aren't transferrable - the new server wouldn't even NEED (but could) notify the remote servers of the Fave'ing. And failing all that, could at least import them as bookmarks instead.

But, again, CANNOT export Faves...!

@PhoenixSerenity Werd.

I suspect @andrew and I will investigate moving Ottawa.Place to an Ottawa Place in a couple months ;)

@PhoenixSerenity Wasn't planning on it! My only relationship was as a user of the instance... no real enagement beyond that and some curiosity about the technical operations - as I work in the field.

Otherwise I doubt I'll ever have any involvement beyond 'maintaining' my archive, for as long as that lasts.

@PhoenixSerenity oooooooof, that's brutal. And as previously stated, I had no idea.

I know a few people I follow have made allusions to problems, but never said anything specific like you are here. (and I see your other commentary in your TL right now.)

@EdwinG @WTL @david @erin @Bowreality @stephanie I truly do not envy Chad's situation right now. Hopefully he's got friends and family looking in on him.

Right or wrong, the lawyers always win.

I started on the fediverse due to CIRA sponsoring #MSTDNca, however the frequent performance problems had me looking elsewhere, and the allegations and risk of infrastructure seizure prompted me to pull the trigger. I'd heard there was some controversy around Chad's instance, but never actually saw it.

Wonder if we'll ever have a true picture of either situation, wonder if someone will take the instance over (requiring a lot of work and some money) - but unfortunately it cannot be me at this time.
