Aight folks, Imma press the button; assuming I can figure out which one it is. If I vanish like Switch going out in the Matrix, it's been a slice...

Oven hashbrowns, the playing card shaped kind, with onion in them, are in fact so delicious I might start a cult based entirely around consuming them.
"Sorceress Supreme, I am not entirely certain how delivering this wagonload of steaming hot, perfectly cooked hashbrowns will help me achieve enlightenment?"
"It will not; I am just very hungry. Go in my grace, my son... but leave the hashbrowns."
@oliphant@oliphant.social nothing to be sorry about, it's all good. I saw that it was back up the next time I looked. I was joking about it maybe being my fault; I mean mostly - my subconscious is pretty sure most things that go wrong MIGHT be my fault lol.
Lol, getting 502'd.
I hope I didn't break it for everyone else.
Without trying to be a jerk, I went through my entire follows list that was being imported and found 3 corner cases I was worried about; two of them I've already found again and one I'm literally just going to wait for them to post again and find them that way.
So, for all the rumored strictness, it doesn't actually seem to matter.
So at this point I'm like 'fuck it, I have to move."
But again, that shit is hard, and time consuming, and I was in a mental state where like I knew I was coming out of a long episode of depression, but I wasn't really, out of it yet? So anything like that just seems really daunting when you're on the wrong side of that hill. And I skipped it.
But now I'm feeling better, and this issue has come up again; perhaps bigger and bolder than it has ever been before. So I just did it and moved.
Okay so like the process went more or less like this, right?
First, some marginalized friends of mine, typically the ones with good backgrounds in feminist theory and anti-colonialism were like "the server you're on is kinda problematic" and I more or less agree with them but moving was hard.
And then at some point being here, resulted in my losing all my friends from Kolektiva as a result of an admittedly *BAD* admin decision; but like why do I care? It happened, and because I was here.
@Jeramee I'd honestly hit Kolekitva; it's not the best server, but the censorship is pretty low, they have plenty of Dem Socs (more or less recovering liberals who want nice things; kinda folks who vote for AOC and Bernie, but also want them to do better) but they also have enough anarchists, outright socialists, and everything in between to keep exposing you to new ideas - which you can of course, reject or accept at your leisure.
(Which I guess isn't to say I have NEVER been the cracker reactionary running my mouth; but man, decolonization is a life long process. That's just how it do.)
*shrugs*
If it wasn't my friend's server, it probably woulda been Jorts Horse and if it wasn't Jorts Horse, it almost certainly woulda been Kolektiva.
I don't think it really matters; I just knew this person wasn't gonna fuck me around and also I don't mind the stricter modding. I mean I'm not the cracker reactionary running my mouth, so it ain't much affect me.
@Jeramee I mean, they're extremely strict. Like, they do not fuck around; if you smell like a reactionary you're out. But the person running the show is at least approachable, and I haven't found their logic to ever track with anything but "community safety and telling nazis to fuck off" - not easy to find someone without an ego here.
But it's such a tiny server, and some folks might not appreciate how strict it is. Mostly? I think they're prepared to pay the price, for hosting me. So I agreed
I mean, the question is simple:
Does it have that jangle tho?
Okay then. I'm in.

@Jeramee You have to create a new account either way, I just haven't hit the button that transfers all my followers over. I will, probably later tonight; just wanna make sure I'm doing it right. But even then it might take a few days to pull everyone over.
For the moment I'm maintaining both so I can kinda make sure everyone knows what is going on before I send this account's follower count to zero - but at some point, I will in fact transfer them over. Likely today even.
I suppose your options are:
Follow me there now
Wait for the machine to finish transferring you to my new account
Unfollow me cause "fuck this she said she'd never move."
Choose wisely, or don't, I dunno; it's your life.
This has been coming for a long time, I've explained the reasons why multiple times and just not actually done the moving.
Well now I've moved.
Right NOW, I'm just posting on both accounts. Later today I am going to hit the button that moves all my followers from here, to there.
The server I'm on now has MUCH better moderation, so some of you on sketchbag instances may not be making the trip. Dunno what to say, none of that is up to me I just press the button kids.
Aight, so if you weren't paying attention last night (and who could blame you, this entire Meta thing is a hot pit of Dunning-Kruger effects,) I have moved:
Morning folks. Welcome to our brave new world.
*shrugs*
I ain't bailing on you folks right away; I got the other account set up and for a bit I'll use both. At some point, Imma hit that transfer follows button and drag most of you screaming with me, but if you can't wait, I posted where I'm at as well above.
