Bluesky managed to go offline practically entirely. I count on you folks to spork the hell out of this.

Eh, I feel like the important part of decentralization right now is the potential to migrate.
Like, how many social media sites actually last 5 years before shitting the bed?
If admins of an instance get shitty, it's trivial to move to a new one. Traditional social media you'd have to migrate to a completely different site, with different features, layout, and other stuff.
People won't all wait for the same reason, as the biggest becomes actually "big" we'll see them start to fracture.
There just wasn't enough people on fediverse to start out like that.
So think of Blue sky, World, and all those other "big" instances that still don't have that many users as the egg for the future fediverse that actually has enough users to be proper decentralized
Is migrating really practical? Will your followers automatically follow you on your new server?
On Mastodon yes, it is also compatible with a few other software like Akkoma. Your followers will get a notification that you moved and will automatically follow the new account. Works very seamlessly in my experience.
Thanks a lot, very helpful
On Mastodon it's very easy and it brings your followers over
It offers possibilities, which are infinitely more probable than systems without such possibilities.
Lol.
Buddy if I have any followers I'd be happy to leave them behind.
But I'm not into that twitter/Instagram/Tiktok nonsense.
If someone was, I'd assume they'd just leave a last post saying:
They don't need to jump instances if they're federated, they just need to follow a new account.
Some people do not recognize questions anymore. You write a lot of stuff that nobody's interested in, you could have just said: "no".
Edit, this was based on wrong information provided by @givesomefucks: ~~And that means that if I am following a person because they write useful things that I'm interested in or that I need for my work, I will loose connection when they suddenly move. That has nothing to do with what you call nonsense; it is a practical consequence of the Fediverse not having migration built in. Fediverse basically offers to create a new account, that is not migration.~~
Unless...
I honestly didn't type that much, less than your reply actually...
But it's ironic you complained about the length of a short comment, yet obviously didn't read the majority of the comment.
Have a nice life bub, feel free to "follow" or not if you want, but don't expect replys anymore
