@misty (i’m not trying to contradict the feeling you have & rightfully point out that people care about this stuff! more a reflection of an epiphany i had where i realized that i didn’t care about it as much as i thought i did)

The more and more old servers I see close, the more intolerable it is that Mastodon still doesn't offer a way to migrate data like posts to new accounts. -

i came to the conclusion that i myself could not be arsed to read through thousands of dumb tweets to pick out the good ones & the risk of hosting a convo i would now regret seeing was not worth it

this is not helpful but that said re post data i’m kinda leaning towards opposite in that i feel it’s maybe healthier that this is a somewhat ephemeral medium?
if your server dies repost your faves and let The Archive handle the rest kinda vibe
