I’m just curious, since I tend to get attached to my accounts but I also like having access to all information so I don’t want to use a defederated instance. If, say, kbin got overrun by bad actors and was defederated by everyone else, is the only option to jump ship? Unfortunately I don’t have the capability to selfhost or I would to avoid such problems.
What are your contingency plans if such a thing occurs?
@rosatherad @polaroid This is very much how it works with Mastodon, you can basically export your data and hop to another instance whenever you like!
Honestly this is how it should work, for all of the #Fediverse. Migration should not be a second thought, but an integrated and assumed part of using the fediverse. I’ve jumped servers 3 times on Mastodon, because I kept finding a “better” home for myself and my interests. Finding the right place takes time!
