I made one a few years ago in a technology-focused instance only to see that the owner shut it down due to health issues so I had to create a new account on @mstdn.social
A few instances have been spinning up more related to my cloud space but I'm wary of the owners so I get in my head if that if I'm going to do anything that I'll need to spin up my own instance and then I guess federate into others?
Honestly, I think I'm just going to wander the vast social media landscape and just drop things here and there lol.
mstdn.social is one of the larger server and its ran by a single person...
Moving servers for me its not about the content its about the followers.
So looks like when you move it "redirects" folks, but I would imagine they need to refollow you? I have to keep investigating
I'm a fan of Open Source and have a growing interest in serverless and edge computing. I'm not a big fan of spiders, but they're doing good work eating bugs. I also stream on Twitch @ nickyt.live.
I think what I'm going to do is just turn my brain off and use a managed provider, set the server to be private or invite only while I learn this stuff.
Buy yeah, maybe instead of paying $8 USD (1000 USD) a month on Twitter Blue its should just go to my own managed instance.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse

Yeah, for that I'm not positive.
