Oh wait, about 20 following came through in the past hour. It just takes a long time, apparently. I'll wait, and finalise the move to front-end.social tomorrow.

Hmmm ... it seems front-end.social imported all my follows except those on mastodon.social and toot.cafe ... dunno why.

@Idoros Dunno. I thought so, but now I have my doubts.

@Idoros That's because I didn't kill this account yet.

Trying to migrate to @front-end.social but it's not going well ... unless I'm too impatient.

Only 6 of my 78 follows were moved even though the CSV contains all of them, and how (or whether) my followers are going to move is a complete mystery to me.

@TheGreenGreek @SaraSoueidan We will have to be extra nice to @mia then and beg for an invitation as well.

I'd like to move from mastodon.social to a front-end-focused instance.

@SaraSoueidan There is a front-end.social? Hmmm....

Officially replaced the Twitter app by the Mastodon app on my phone's home screen.

I still have the Twitter app, but on the second screen.

Let's see if this has any impact on my habits.

The Roman Emperor (in Constantinople) still feels entitled to meddle in his lands in the West that are temporarily under barbarian officials - for instance by sending another barbarian king, Theodoric of the Ostrogoths, to defeat Odoacer. This will happen eleven years later.

478 followers. The Roman Empire has officially fallen two years ago - but nobody really noticed.

Odoacer, the general who took power in Italy, sent the imperial regalia of the West to Constantinople to indicate that he considered himself an official of the Roman Emperor Zeno, and that he didn't need a separate Emperor in the West.

In fact, most barbarian rulers in the West still consider themselves Roman officials, with the Vandal king of Africa as the notable exception.
