long, on moving to Masto
posted this on Twitter but it's probably useful here too:
I'm not gonna say "join Mastodon" or "don't join Mastodon" but please don't join the two instances run by the main developer (mastodon social and mastodon online), they're hopelessly overrun and as a result of that not well-moderated.
Join a small or medium-sized instance and use the public timelines. They're made up from ppl who people on the instance follow, which is why there's instances built around different topics (but you're usually welcome to post about anything). Hmu if you want a recommendation
You can also create multiple accounts, all the good apps support multi-user (I'm recommending Tusky on Android and Toot! (paid) for iOS), if you for example want an AD or an account for gaming and a personal one I'd highly recommend creating them on different instances
BITBUCKET IS DELETING HG REPOSITORIES TOMORROW!!!
Steps to save your code:
1) clone locally and keep it somewhere findable/your personal archive
2) deposit a copy in Software Heritage with this form: https://archive.softwareheritage.org/save/
3) deposit a copy in Zenodo (zenodo.org) or use the Open Science Framework's (osf.io) integration with Bitbucket to drag and drop the files into OSF storage (or GL or GH) for persistence
Oh wow!

Reminder that Awoo.Space's primary goal is to operate an instance that deliberately maintains a small whitelist of instances they federate with, as a "safe space" (my words) against potential abuse out there in the fediverse.
It's not here as "the furry server". While a lot of furries are here, there are many other furry-oriented and furry-friendly instances out there that are more connected.
I'm lucky enough to not need the anti-abuse for my primary account.
