Hey folks!

I'm very grateful to this space over the last couple of years but I feel it's time to take the plunge and make my own one-person Mastodon instance, for a few reasons I won't bore people with.

I've already begun the transfer process, but if it leaves you behind, or if you want to follow for its own sake, check me out at @Charlotte

Thanks so much!

@leask I should! (Thank you for sharing this, it's cute)

@chel Oh woof. Well, at least there's notice.

Is there a way to migrate an account after the server's shut off, or would one be SOL if they were on a break and came back to a smoking crater?

And finally the Sporkman 23rd Anniversary Spectacular comes to an end with some EXTREMELY CANONICAL information. Tomorrow: Lit Brick! sporkman.com #webcomics

re: Birdsite (+) 

I was addicted; I accept that.

And I'm proud. Because I'm not anymore.

Birdsite (+) 

Except for the purposes self-promotion and doing a favor for a friend, I have not logged into my main Twitter for the past 90 days.

re: Death, musings upon. 

@aesmael Probably a good idea. There was a time I had a health scare where I left a note for my parents to open upon my passing. I should update it but give it to my sister.

meta-discourse, ignore this honestly 

@emaytch Ah, gotcha. Thanks for clarifying!

@emaytch Hmmm, is there something about the name I'm missing?

Death, musings upon. 

I didn't know them, but the passing of a longtime furry figure who was only five years older than me, has me taking stock.

I find myself asking how the hell I would even inform everyone of my passing, because I've worked so hard to keep the barrier up between Offline Me and Online Me. For good reason - me and my family would endure genuine difficulty if word got out that I pretend to be a skunk lady on the internet, and that's just general background radiation. A targeted harassment campaign would destroy lives.

But this, feels like the cost of that; never letting the two mix, means I can never fully let someone into my life, and in turn, when I leave this life, I run the risk of being an empty spot that people always wonder about but never can confirm.

I suppose I could charge a few people with the task of informing everyone of my passing, but... what a grim request.

Or I could find somebody to love, but what are the odds of that?

@wasder26 This is all super cool to learn. Thanks! I'm always up for meeting new people.

@wasder26 @AdalwinAmillion Just a general overview for now would be great; any cool furries to follow (and any uncool ones to avoid.)

Don't feel obligated, of course, but thanks in advance!

@daveexmachina I swear. Do they procreate in there? Is there soft wah-wah pedal music coming from the bin when no one's around?
