Um omg this is amazing news haha! I should have followed the mastodon updates more closely it seems, I had no idea we could do this now. Thanks so much for bringing that to my attention 😀

100% better migration options. I want to take my posts with me, I want people going to my old profile to redirect to my new profile. I feel like I’ve been stuck on my Mastodon instance, which is very small and is not tended to by the admins a lot, because of the lacking migration functionality.

As someone who lives in Antwerp and works fully remote , but sometimes needs to go to the office in The Hague, this is great news!

Thank you 🙏

Where does this idea come from? European agriculture is much more resilient to cold than it is to heat, as it has historically developed to withstand harsh winters.

Dolphins, just like killer whales, can become severely depressed/neurotic in captivity. Additionally, there are rescue facilities that can take these animals in and either give them a livable rest of their lives without being set out in the wild, or can be readjusted to living in the wild. Instead of sending subsidies to these facilities and closing the Dolfinarium, it’s allowed to stay open until 2037.

Instrumentalising animals for human entertainment is absolutely morally wrong. You can’t use animals in a circus anymore, but the Dolfinarium is still allowed to exist. There are better ways to teach people about the intelligence of dolphins than torturing them in captivity and letting them do tricks for humans. Kids don’t need to see an elephant do tricks to learn about it being very intelligent.

The fact that the Dolfinarium is still allowed to exist puzzles me. They must have had good lobbyists to have gotten of scot-free with this new law.

I joined the MTGzone.com instance because I used to use Reddit for MTG news 80% of the time anyway, andnnow I have a nice local feed for magic the gathering stuff and a federated feed for everything else. It’s great!

There’s very extensive documentation on running your own server: https://solidproject.org//self-hosting/css

And this will answer some of your questions: https://solidproject.org/about

Solid is a specification made for other apps to run on. Here’s a list of apps that have been built on top of solid: https://solidproject.org/apps

This is what a lot of people do when they create a Single user instance. You can learn more about that here: https://calebhearth.com/running-mastodon

There’s other projects that are trying to implement your ‘Earthling’ idea. There’s the Solid project for instance: https://solidproject.org/
