@Poe I mean, I agree .. but the prevailing take over there seems to be "mastodon is twitter with a homeowner's association and all the same problems"
we really need a good solution for the issue the dot-art/tech-lgbt problem has raised: if your server admin turns into a Malevolent Dictator For Life, they can stop you from talking to your friends.
maybe there should be a way for users to opt out of individual server defeds - I dunno, I'm just spitballing here.
@clacke @Poe As I've just said - it's not a foolproof process. Sure it's better now, but from a user POV it's still time-consuming. It also means updating things which link to the old address (linktree, websites, email sigs, etc)
I absolutely did vote with my feet and that's why I'm here. But policy isn't the issue at hand here - admin overreach and abuse of power is. Admittedly that's a social issue: but my point is the technology can make things easier and more transparent.
@philpem@digipres.club @clacke@libranet.de @Poe@gamepad.club The old account will prominently show where the user has moved to, including a direct link. That's about as good as can be done short of a 301 redirect, which would have its own set of drawbacks.
@levi @clacke @Poe I think we've drifted off. The redirect isn't the problem that needs solving.
See GP: "we really need a good solution for the issue the dot-art/tech-lgbt problem has raised: if your server admin turns into a Malevolent Dictator For Life, they can stop you from talking to your friends." - and you probably won't realise until it's too late.
the problem to solve is reducing the impact of admins who turn harmful, and making the lives of users easier.
