User1: Good morning
User2: yo
User3: morning
User1: Apparently PZMeyers tweeted about octodon.social
User1: and now people are joining it like crazy
User1: I know this because I'm on the list of instant follows on that server
User1: and my notifications / email messages are pegged
User4: weird.
User5: that happened when bryan lunduke joined mastodon.social
User1: Yeah
User5: i went back to twitter after a while
User5: i liked the idea in theory, but twitter is just easier
User1: That's because I wasn't on mastodon yet
User1: but now I am so it's all good. :)
User5: lol
User5: when mastodon had its big explosion i saw a bunch of blog posts about server operators that were suddenly hit with massive hosting bills
User1: Yeah
User1: I contribute to my provider's Patreon
User5: and there was always the questionof what happened if your server went down
User1: You hop to another server
User5: Â¯\_(ã)_/Â¯
User1: octodon.social is decent
User1: (That's the one that I'm on)
User1: There's a joinmastodon.org as well
User1: And https://instances.social/
User1: Which gives you a questionaire about what you're looking for and picks a site
User1: Yeah
 * greg-g is a SJW
User1: https://i.write.codethat.sucks/about
User1: ;)
User1: greg-g: Which instance did you pick?
User1: This is the most important. Chop chop. :)
User1: Ah, right
User1: Honestly they make it really easy to move accounts
User1: you can export your following list / mutes / blocks
User1: So if you mis-fire, you can still move with relative ease
User1: no forwarding address though.
User1: Yeah
User1: But you can also put something like "MOVED" in your name and leave where you've moved to
User6: No pornography? Have people forgotten what the Internet is for?!
User4: maybe CC licenced pornography is acceptable?
User1: Pretty sure that is a small proportion of pornography
User4: i dunno... i bet a lot of /r/gonewild would license that way if you asked 'em too. :p
User4: no need for porn on twitter IMO. I was just commenting on the "FREEDOM!!!!" associativity of the service :)
