   Reminder that "sometime not long after December 15th", the botsin.space server, a home to many of your favorite creative bots, will be entering a read-only mode, before its planned shutdown.

   (The server will run until at least March 2025.)

   Hope most of you bot admins managed to migrate by now!

     I wrote about my own experience earlier. Happy to give folks who might need help with the process some pointers!

     @rebeccafinn Yes, Mastodon will automatically move all the followers!

     Well, the process is not perfect.

     Comparing @southpoleviews and @southpoleviews@botsin.space, the original account still has 321 followers 😬

     Sometimes it takes a bit longer for the migration to complete, some accounts/servers become dormant, and there's also a chance that the some followers might be blocking the server you're migrating to.

     Oh the joys of decentralized social media!

     @stefan many of the ones I follow haven't yet migrated... But when they do, will they keep their audience?
