If you have issues with your Mastodon account and are on mastodon.social, take these steps:
1. Go to instances.social/ & do the wizard
2. Select any instance that pops up that looks nice to you
3. Create an account there
4. Set up an account alias by going to Settings -> Account -> Account Settings -> Moving from a different account
5. Move your account by going to mastodon.social/settings/migra

The #Fediverse is distributed, you don't need to be on the most popular instance to participate.

@pludikovsky @nick

This is the second or third mention of people migrating elsewhere I've seen in the last couple of days.

Is there something glitching with mastodon.social? Or are people just bailing to join other instances for whatever other reasons?

I'd heard maybe a year back that there are people who just blacklist mastodon.social accounts as a matter of (some mysterious) course, but I wasn't sure what the issue there was, either.

@reay @pludikovsky Over the past couple of days there was some noticeable latency and instability, but that wasn't the reason that I spun up thegem.city/.

I really believe in the idea of having regional / semi-local instances as a community building tool. I think the fediverse is going to be the thing that tips the scales towards hyper-connected local groups in a way that twitter, reddit, and next-door never really could be.

Ah! Yeah, I've been noticing a lot of glitching on it when I've been trying to log on in the last couple of days. But given my not unusual tech problems, hadn't connected those two things.

I think you've got a solid idea making more local instances. If I had the tech knowhow (and importantly, didn't have said common tech issues), I'd consider doing the same.

@copydbwoy For chaos.social? Sorry, my policy is to only give invites to people I know & have a connection to the community built around the Chaos Computer Club.

@copydbwoy As a musician/music interested person maybe sunny.garden? It's Art oriented, but currently has a waitlist for approval. So not completely open nor invite-only.

@pludikovsky what happens to m my "joined in 2017", is that kept or I will be shown as new user?

Not sure as I never moved mine, but probably: yes, both.
The old account isn't removed, just quasi read-only. New events on the old messages get forwarded, and the new account is an alias for the old one.
