teepee: Maybe the optimal strategy is to keep the other ready and aliased as a fallback, and give those Kev and Mark guys a few days to see how they address the situation, now that the primary problem person has vaporized.

InPhase: I was not sure about how the aliasing works so, it's pretty much moved already
<teepee>
people are still talking about defederating, so it's probably just fine. it also seems to have dusted off followers that do not exist anymore, it's down by about 100
<teepee>
and I don't think it should be seen as an archive anyway, e.g. the #scadvent is permanently on the gallery page, so the loss is near zero

teepee: Well I spent a bit digging around looking at other servers. For now I just feel like abandoning ship and not bothering to join mastodon at all. Everywhere I look there's just way more social drama, conflict, and people having difficulty getting along and working cooperatively than I feel like inserting into my life.

I was looking for a stable place to share content without such issues.
<teepee>
InPhase: it really just depends on what you subscribe to
<InPhase>
For example I found one for scientists. I thought oh hey, great. But then they have pages and pages of rules like if you are an entymologist, you need content warnings about bugs in case someone is sensitive to bugs, and so on. Am I supposed to content warning posts about my work because it involves brain surgery, which weirds some people out? Even just trying to figure out those rules and
<teepee>
like if it's just #catsofmastodon it should be pretty drama free :)
<InPhase>
expectations is way too much effort.
<teepee>
I suppose in that regard one of the big instances is probably just easy going
<InPhase>
The last thing I need is extra drama about cultural expectations that have nothing to do with the science I might actually want to discuss.
<teepee>
it does not matter how from where you follow. yesterday I clicked on one of the guineapig posts and ended up on bluesky :)
<teepee>
but then, I barely post anything, mainly just on the openscad account
<teepee>
but yeah, it really depends on how you want to use it
<InPhase>
I actually considered bluesky as an alternative. I will look into that later, I guess. But I exceeded my mental capacity for now for trying to sort out such things. :)
<InPhase>
You'd think base level civility and giving people the benefit of the doubt would not be a hard ask.
<teepee>
it's fine, and worst case we can check on creating an openscad instance :)
<InPhase>
Yeah. For OpenSCAD all we need is clean visibility. The posts are fairly single-purpose.
<teepee>
that said, a mail server is higher on the current list
