In October 2022, I decided that it's time to migrate my Mastodon account from https://lor.sh to https://merveilles.town, the instance of Merveilles. And so I did. I'm on https://merveilles.town/@bouncepaw.
As you know, my toots expire. I added a lot of entries to удалённое из мастодонта and moved several threads here:
- book software
- hackable software
- date format
- punch card
- rpn calculator
- tour bus
- what is a wiki
- pipepunk
- крупно-кашевое
- mastodon
- дневник
and you can find more traces in other places
How it all started?
The reason I ask for a personal website for vetoing applications to the instance is that every other time someone sends me their [pinterest/instagram/arena/facebook/..] and all that gives me is 2-3 selfies before it requests I sign in. Which I won't do.
Ah, so one can apply for Merveilles? I thought it was invite-only
Devine:
Usually people just ask if they can come on over, or are invited by someone already on the instance.
Sounds fun. If I asked, would I have been accepted? It's not like I want to, just interested
Devine:
yeah, I've been following you for a while and seem like you're pretty much merveilles adjacent.
Wonderful
The decision
2022-10-16, 5 stars!
Oh, I think I should state that publicly. I'll ask for migration to Merveilles once I'm done expiring my toots here. I've deleted around 500 toots over the last 3 days by hand. I want to leave around a hundred toots here on this server. The best toots, a golden collection!
Some toots go to my garden after expiration, of course. Some of them are here: https://melanocarpa.lesarbr.es/hypha/удалённое_из_мастодонта
The reasons for the migration are as follows (a comprehensive list):
-
I write in English mostly, and this instance is more Russian.
-
I act like a Merveille anyway. Some of them mistook me for one already.
-
There are nice people there!
