@rysiek Not sure if I mentioned it but I'm building a tool people can use to move their content to new instances (since Mastodon only migrates follows). I felt a bit "held hostage" when my content focused account ran into problems with instance admin and I realised how tough it'd be to move. Can only presume that's what they're talking about.

In any case, a test version should be out within a week or so. Testing it myself at the moment to migrate 140 posts with images and video.

@mhkohne @rysiek Thank you! The version I have so far is very basic, but hopefully I'll be able to add to it over time. It will never be the all-singing, all-dancing solution that true identity-portability will provide, as what can be achieved with a client external to Mastodon is fairly limited. But I really hope it will be some help to those who wish to preserve what they have posted. 🙏

@tokyo_0 @rysiek Hot damn! Thank you for tackling one of the biggest blockers to departing unhealthy instances!
