One issue with Mastodon is that one of the servers I was part of shutdown unexpectedly. Now I can't transfer that account. Can't they find a way to create something actually a bit more decentralized so that you're not tied to a single server?
I think Mastodon is a great first step, but unfortunately doesn't go far enough.
- stjohnswarts 5y agocan't you set up your own mastoden and then sort of "federate" with other mastodon instances you want to share your stuff with? I thought that was mostly the big advantage of it, outside of it not being twitter
- encryptluks2 5y agoSet it up how exactly? Mastodon as far as I know isn't exactly meant to run individual instances for whatever device you're connecting from. I could be wrong, but it is a bit more complex than that and if that was the case why don't they just let you backup whatever keys you need yourself to migrate accounts?
