Hi, I tried to migrate my pixelfed account to a different server using aliases as the instructions described. It redirects, but no posts or follows have come over, and it's been over 24 hours. Sending a DM to admin doesn't seem to work. Does anyone know if it's backed up right now over people being frustrated with Instagram?

If it isn't going to work that's fine, because I'm willing to start over. I'm just curious if this is working for other people or I'm forgetting something obvious.

I have a pixel 5a and haven't had that problem, currently using Fennec (firefox fork).

From article:

First, the very idea of a U.S. defense pact with Saudi Arabia—a treaty-bound assurance that the United States will come to the royal family’s defense if their country is attacked, in the same way that we have pledged to defend any member of NATO that comes under attack—is, and should be, a non-starter.

It's complicated, but one of the proposals on the table is a mutual defense pact between the U.S. and Saudi Arabia. (the fact that this would even be considered bothers me quite a bit)

"Spend less time once on" is different than "hate". I hated FB's feed so much that I was reluctant to get on in the first place, a metric completely different from how long I would spend once I DID open it.

article was fine, mastodon.art's mod didn't like the person who originally posted it

I'm using calckey.world and it was a bit crunchy at first but is working well now. The userbase at this point is small compared to the mastodon servers we're used to seeing.

Early on, he was selling some of his Tesla stock, thus depressing its value, in order to fund twitter. So I don't believe the theory that he bought it specifically to tank it. Though he may eventually claim "I meant to do that".

This seems like an admission that twitter is dead.

This is just more marketing on OpenAI's part, to push the idea that they are close to creating something "smarter" than humans.

I'm confused by this - there are various things Meta might want from the Fediverse (free content, more data, more people to serve ads to), but new users can't be one of them. No one from Mastodon is likeky to migrate to Meta's platform; the people who want to use Meta are already there.

My trust in him dropped after being exposed to his activity on twitter. It seemed like he had a habit of trying to apply his knowledge to things he didn't understand or where he was missing the point. I'm no longer on twitter and can't remember specific examples, so it may have been more that that format did not work for him.

I found the procedurally-produced planets in No Man's Sky to be stunningly beautiful. Then I would walk around on them and the similar-but-not-quite look of every part of the landscape would slowly drive me INSANE.

Combo attacks - I'm not coordinated to hit the buttons in order fast enough. I tried Black Desert when it was free and this was the dealbreaker for me, though it wasn't the only thing that bugged me about the game.
