    @wulfric How is having an archive of my posts on my computer anything remotely like having entire conversations publicly available online?

    @wulfric My original post said "I can't migrate my posts"?

    The word "migrate" is the key here.

    I have threads with reporting in them, with tips for people with long COVID, and other stuff I want to keep. If anyone knows how to migrate posts please LMK.

    I guess it's my fault for using mastodon for years without knowing all of my posts could go POOF.

    So the "strength" of the #fediverse is decentralization but somehow that means when a server is shut down everything on it gets lost forever? I am struggling with this...like why would anyone use this network??? I might be done here.

      Notes From a Mastodon Migration - Erin Kissane's small internet website
      Here's what I've learned by migrating from one Mastodon server to another, including what I wish I'd known in advance and what I hope the makers of federated systems will change.

    My friend was bit by a...gopher.

    First time I've ever heard of such an injury. If I were the urgent care doc, I'd bite my tongue to prevent Caddyshack jokes.

    The US Director of National Intelligence isn't very intelligent and you can bet the people working for her are extremely aware of this.

    A Kiwi named Steven Adams just dominated an NBA playoff game and I thought he was new but he's been playing for over a decade lol.

    Me - not really an NBA fan I just watch it.

    Sen. Van Hollen posts picture on bluesky sitting at a table with Kilmar Abrego Garcia and this message: "I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return."

    I like to take photos of the landscapes & wildlife here on Kauai, so here's Hawaiian monk #seal H92 (they're all tagged). About 1400 of these seals exist today & NOAA has done a great job increasing their numbers of late. They dig these face trenches in the sand to cool off but it's a good metaphor for a lot of things these days. #photography #animals #mammals #Hawaii #beach #ocean

    An NBA player (Damian Lillard, Milwaukee Bucks) has been cleared to play just 3 weeks after being diagnosed with deep vein thrombosis, a blood clot in his leg. This is a remarkable timeline (months of treatment with blood thinners is typical) and I'm sure many physicians are skeptical about him being OK to play.

    For people still wearing N95s and the like: The federal office that ensured masks met the N95 or KN95 standards has been destroyed. So any masks sold in the US could well be counterfeit or inadequate.

    Finished migrating my stuff off of Google drive and onto pCloud, based in Switzerland. Not as many features, sure, but lower price per GB and one less gross Google tentacle in my life.

    pCloud automates Google photos migration so that part was easy.

    Sen. #Booker now decrying cuts to NIH funding, repeating the oft-cited statistic that $1 in basic biomedical research funding leads to $5 in economic gains.

    Compares the decimation of US research to Chinese cultural revolution.
