well, time to say goodbyes to pleroma.aaoth.xyz. a week ago i made a move to starnix.

my main account is now @la_ninpre

backups are:
@la_ninpre, @la_ninpre, @la_ninpre

this instance will be turned off today.

it has been almost two years since i started this instance, but all things eventually come to an end. in recent months it has become more and more hard to keep pleroma running. this is for a number of reasons. mainly, the database grows, it's frustrating to clean up, restoring the database from a dump takes up more than two days(!) etc etc.

what will happen then?

i'm not leaving the fediverse yet, but this instance will be shut down in a few weeks or so. my new home will be at merveilles.town, a nice place indeed. i won't be moving this account there because it makes no sense to do so (moving requires old account to be around, iirc). if you want to follow me there, here you go: @la_ninpre​

what about honk?

honk instance (bloat.aaoth.xyz) is here to stay, because unlike pleroma it's very easy to manage and it's very small and fast. i consider my account there as a backup, not a main one.

so yeah, bye-bye pleroma, it's been a good time, despite all difficulties and frustrations i had with it.
