Do I bring my toots over when migrating to another instance?
debugging strategy: delete the buggy code

To be brutally honest, my interest in Mastodon has waned significantly these past years. I stopped contributing to Pinafore, and I was considering shutting down toot.cafe because it was expensive and I barely used it.

The new wave is surprising, but it came at a time when I needed to travel abroad for a family medical emergency. DevOps is the last thing on your mind when you're in the hospital with a loved one. This is the human cost of Masto adminning that is rarely discussed.

I have encountered more image descriptions on Mastodon in 24 hours than I have in Twitter in a couple of years. Seriously. I'm not exaggerating.
As a blind person, this means a lot to me. If you read this and you describe your images, thank you so, so, so much on behalf of all of us. If you don't, now you know you'll be helping random Internet strangers make sense of your posts by typing in a few more words than usual.

Here are a few fun ways to say "Stupid" or "Acting Stupid" in Icelandic.

Greindarskortur - Intelligence Deficiency
Þekkingarlaus - Knowledge Shortage
Andlega Fátækur - Mentally Poor
Rugludallur - Confusion Container
Vitgrannur - Knowledge Slender

I want to echo what other Mastodon admins are saying: please report any harassment or violative messages you're seeing. Unlike the birdsite, your local admin will likely react quickly -- and you'll make the instance better for everyone, not just yourself.

So... please don't just ignore! Let us know if there's a problem.

... because plans never work, they are rarely good, and when a plain fails, it's demoralising.

But don't forgo planning, it's effective for small iterations, but don't overdo it.

Fun fact; i'm thoroughly enjoying presenting slides in Miro - I don't know why, since both powerpoint and keynote are more efficient and powerful.
