Anyway can anyone recommend the best and most idiot-proof guide to moving Mastodon servers?
PopehatDec 12, 2022
So I’ve let this account languish. I’m on Post (@popehat) and I’ve been avoiding Mastodon only because I need to figure out how to switch servers (this one is blocked all over). I’m logged in on my iPad but, hilariously, I can’t find where I wrote my password and the “recover password” function isn’t working or is super-slow to send an email. Anyway. I intend to build up and use a Mastodon account now that I’m leaving Twitter but it might take a bit.

@objectinspace I have mixed feelings about that, to be honest. My desire not to upset people is contrary to my desire to fight the notion that mental illness is shameful or should be hidden.

I saw that it was Aaron Swartz’ 36th birthday, and looked back at what I wrote about his case, and his suicide, almost ten years ago.

It all holds up, but it’s kind of darkly amusing to figure out that when I was writing this about how well people mask their depression I was profoundly depressed and nobody knew. So, QED, I guess?

@AriCohn Ari I have a concern that it will be harder to find dumb people wrong about the First Amendment to argue with
