So.. these random mastodon servers are islands and if they shut down you have to migrate your shit? Tbh I’ve barely paid any attention to mastodon but crap like this just makes me have less interest in it. Yay decentralization! …
- brianjking 4y agoI mean...this makes sense.
- Gigachad 4y agoMastodon is a huge mess, and these servers shut down constantly. Imagine trying to use email but the server is run by a single stranger who gives up after 2 years and you have to reset all of your account emails. The only feasible end result is that everyone picks one large corporate server or hosts their own. Like how email works.
- npteljes 4y agoIn my understanding it's similar to email. We can email each other on different hosts just fine, but if my host goes down, so does my email address, and my previous emails.
