Hacker Public Radio   /     HPR4320: Switching my Mastodon account

Description

This show has been flagged as Clean by the host. One way in which the Fediverse is different from corporate social media is that there is no center. By definition, these platforms are a federation of independent servers. This has consequences in that you may have a server that is run by a single person and if that person gets tired of doing it, or faces life situations that get in the way, your server may have to go away. But the mechanisms are in place to handle this situation. I am going to explain in this short episode how you migrate from one server to another.
