"In a sports world where it is not uncommon for American athletes to compete for other countries, the intense focus on Ms. Gu reflects a view of Americanness that seems to offer little space for those who might have natural affinities for cultures or countries outside of the United States — especially when that country happens to be a geopolitical competitor like China."

@pixelcats That worked! I didn't realize I needed to enter the old handle in the new account alias first! 🥳 Thank you so much.

"With Floridians facing higher premiums and dropped coverage for Obamacare plans, due to uncertainty around the Affordable Care Act marketplace, Volk said cost-sharing plans could become more popular — but with consequences.

Research from the Commonwealth Fund shows religious, cost-sharing plans have fewer consumer protections because they are largely unregulated and do not guarantee payment of claims."

"If we look at kids who are immunocompromised, they are relying on the community to protect them, not only against measles but against other infections," Dr. Alok Patel, a pediatrician at Stanford Children's Health and an ABC News contributor, who didn't treat Makayla, said. "They rely on community immunity. They rely on having a 95% vaccination coverage shield so they do not catch the measles."

I've tried a lot of this without success. I was able to export bookmarks and important to new handle. 🤷‍♀️ Thank you, maybe I'll set up a backup account at GoToSocial!

@huskify @FediTips @mwadmin @wild1145 @pixelcats

Thank you for your help. To move to a different account, I have tried:
- put @ in front of new handle
- not putting @ in front of new handle
- using password of new account
- using password of old account
- resetting password of old account
- waiting 24 hrs
- turning off 2FA on both accounts

Moving to different account seems to move followers. Importing who I follow is more important and that worked. I've updated old profile with new handle.

That is the message I was getting. It says the handle of the account "is not an alias of this account" and the old account password box also turns red. I'll see if it's better in 24 hours.

oh. look. it's this new fangled innovation called "collective bargaining" 🙄

@leonardof Unfortunately, the previous admin hasn't transferred ownership so the new host is winding down.
