   It feels weird posting from this account knowing I'll be moving if I ever get approval from beige.party (or if I get denied, somewhere else).

   It's like I'm in this weird Fedi limbo.

     Hey beige.party users... is your instance all right? It looks like your main admin hasn't posted in a month and it's been over 24 hours since I've put in a request to join. I'll give it another day or so, but it does kind of make me worry if this is the instance that I want to move too.

     This does bring up an interesting issue. On one hand, I want to leave mastodon.social because it's huge and they are obviously having issues keeping it together.

     And of course issues with moderation and all of the things that plague huge instances.

     On the other hand, small instances come and go but they can also have moderation issues if the instance owner has anything like a life. (I still need to get myself one of those.)

     I'd consider starting my own instance, but that entail even more issue with federation etc.

     So now I'm stuck. I can either stay on the bloated instance that doesn't work 100%, or I can try to find a smaller instance...
