I asked your support team for migration assistance, but they refused to help. I wanted to move to a European server. Since I couldn't get any help from you, I chose @eurosky.social instead. 😊

💥 It took 72 hours to register the second thousand accounts on @eurosky.social 🎉 I expected more movement over the weekend, but apparently, people prefer to migrate during their working hours 😁

As much as I dislike W Social, I can confirm that this is NOT the case. There is nothing preventing outward migrations. I did it myself just now with a test account to verify. Thread:

The mastodon server I joined in 2022 is shutting down permanently. > Please note that Mastodon can move your followers, but it can’t transfer your old posts or uploaded media to your new account. If you want to keep a copy, download an archive. Yeah totally similar to atproto 🙄

here is how i've been explaining PDS migration to the 115 users i've migrated: imagine your bluesky account as being an apartment. you're upset the rent is changing, so you move to a cheaper apartment on the other side of town. after you move, you have to update your address with the post office.
