So how did the migration go? Well, it may not be entirely complete just yet, but so far it doesn’t look good. “It’s important to discuss the ramifications, as at the very least it can serve as a cautionary tale.”The video published this morning was recorded several hours before a migration from one instance to another was attempted. What does this mean? It’s important to discuss the ramifications, as at the very least it can serve as a cautionary tale. The site Tux Machines is among the casualties. THIS morning we wrote about the shutdown of a large Mastodon instance. Summary: Account migration in Mastodon (the foremost Fediverse player) does not work as advertised this means that users are partly locked in/indebted to a platform and a “vendor”, which might stay online for just months or a few years (users don’t get to vote on that)
