Hi, I tried to migrate my pixelfed account to a different server using aliases as the instructions described. It redirects, but no posts or follows have come over, and it's been over 24 hours. Sending a DM to admin doesn't seem to work. Does anyone know if it's backed up right now over people being frustrated with Instagram?

If it isn't going to work that's fine, because I'm willing to start over. I'm just curious if this is working for other people or I'm forgetting something obvious.

I have a pixel 5a and haven't had that problem, currently using Fennec (firefox fork).

Sadly some service people have already died for Saudi Arabia in the Khobar Towers bombing (1996). The presence of American soldiers in Saudi Arabia was also the impetus behind the 9/11 bombings.

A foreign policy cynic could say that this deal changes little, because the U.S. already helps SA willingly, for example, we now help them bomb Yemen because we want to, rather than because we're legally obligated to. But I find the idea that someone would want to codify this insane, and am surprised it isn't bigger news.

"Spend less time once on" is different than "hate". I hated FB's feed so much that I was reluctant to get on in the first place, a metric completely different from how long I would spend once I DID open it.

article was fine, mastodon.art's mod didn't like the person who originally posted it

I'm using calckey.world and it was a bit crunchy at first but is working well now. The userbase at this point is small compared to the mastodon servers we're used to seeing.

Early on, he was selling some of his Tesla stock, thus depressing its value, in order to fund twitter. So I don't believe the theory that he bought it specifically to tank it. Though he may eventually claim "I meant to do that".

This seems like an admission that twitter is dead.

I'm confused by this - there are various things Meta might want from the Fediverse (free content, more data, more people to serve ads to), but new users can't be one of them. No one from Mastodon is likeky to migrate to Meta's platform; the people who want to use Meta are already there.

I think you're misunderstanding the meaning of the statement if you think safely regulations are written for union job security.

  1. It's based/relies on utilitarianism for its moral framework, and I'm just decidedly not a utilitarian. I consider relationships, rights, and motives to matter when judging something.

  2. The whole "earn to give" thing is just a disastrous concept, most publicly in giving cover to things like FTX.

  3. It lacks any theory of power or overall social or economic change. Singer on this issue:

I don't have the answers here, but it's quite an assumption to say that EA is most efficient and following another method would be "sacrificing" potential. EA has some major glaring flaws.
