Laffy

📣

Whatever it takes to bring followers over to my new @GottaLaff@mstdn.social account, I've failed.

So, please spread the word to my usual friends to follow me there if somehow I messed up that part of the move.

I'm having a tough time getting it right. Sorry.📢

EDITED: Forget the posts question.

I know I'm opening myself up for an onslaught of responses I won't understand, irrelevant replies, and redundant replies, but I'm asking anyway:

I'm considering switching from Mastodon . social to mstdn . social. Stux is awesome, I need to break from zillions of bots as best I can.

I've never tried to transfer before. I have a good guide, but in real life, do followers get moved reliably?

Tips?

*Bracing for replies*

@SnowshadowII Do you like your instance? I'm thinking of switching.

I spend hours blocking on this one.

@camcare Please get an avatar photo! I nearly blocked you. (I followed, your first follower)

1. What "emergency" would that be again?

Hey @Gargron, can’t you vet accounts that are clearly bots? I’m blocking hundreds of accounts “___Deals” “CashApps” “GoFundMe” etc accounts, and it’s taking me an hour every damn morning.

Thanks.

“Boring” but not boring.
