Bluesky managed to go offline practically entirely. I count on you folks to spork the hell out of this.

Is migrating really practical? Will your followers automatically follow you on your new server?

Lol.

Buddy if I have any followers I’d be happy to leave them behind.

But I’m not into that twitter/Instagram/Tiktok nonsense.

If someone was, I’d assume they’d just leave a last post saying:

This is where I am now

They don’t need to jump instances if they’re federated, they just need to follow a new account.

Some people do not recognize questions anymore. You write a lot of stuff that nobody’s interested in, you could have just said: “no”.

Edit, this was based on wrong information provided by @givesomefucks: And that means that if I am following a person because they write useful things that I’m interested in or that I need for my work, I will loose connection when they suddenly move. That has nothing to do with what you call nonsense; it is a practical consequence of the Fediverse not having migration built in. Fediverse basically offers to create a new account, that is not migration.

Unless…

I honestly didn’t type that much, less than your reply actually…

But it’s ironic you complained about the length of a short comment, yet obviously didn’t read the majority of the comment.

Have a nice life bub, feel free to “follow” or not if you want, but don’t expect replys anymore

On Mastodon it’s very easy and it brings your followers over

It offers possibilities, which are infinitely more probable than systems without such possibilities.

On Mastodon yes, it is also compatible with a few other software like Akkoma. Your followers will get a notification that you moved and will automatically follow the new account. Works very seamlessly in my experience.
