Pixelfed Migration

Hi, I tried to migrate my pixelfed account to a different server using aliases as the instructions described. It redirects, but no posts or follows have come over, and it's been over 24 hours. Sending a DM to admin doesn't seem to work. Does anyone know if it's backed up right now over people being frustrated with Instagram?

If it isn't going to work that's fine, because I'm willing to start over. I'm just curious if this is working for other people or I'm forgetting something obvious.

Google gets its way, bakes a user-tracking ad platform directly into Chrome
  • I have a pixel 5a and haven't had that problem, currently using Fennec (firefox fork).

  • Sadly some service people have already died for Saudi Arabia in the Khobar Towers bombing (1996). The presence of American soldiers in Saudi Arabia was also the impetus behind the 9/11 bombings.

    A foreign policy cynic could say that this deal changes little, because the U.S. already helps SA willingly, for example, we now help them bomb Yemen because we want to, rather than because we're legally obligated to. But I find the idea that someone would want to codify this insane, and am surprised it isn't bigger news.

    The very idea of a U.S. defense pact with Saudi Arabia should be a nonstarter.

    The Middle East Deal That Biden’s Considering Is a Bad Idea

    From article:

    First, the very idea of a U.S. defense pact with Saudi Arabia—a treaty-bound assurance that the United States will come to the royal family’s defense if their country is attacked, in the same way that we have pledged to defend any member of NATO that comes under attack—is, and should be, a non-starter.

    It's complicated, but one of the proposals on the table is a mutual defense pact between the U.S. and Saudi Arabia. (the fact that this would even be considered bothers me quite a bit)

    Meta Just Proved People Hate Chronological Feeds
  • "Spend less time once on" is different than "hate". I hated FB's feed so much that I was reluctant to get on in the first place, a metric completely different from how long I would spend once I DID open it.

  • mastodon.art defederating calckey firefish social. Cites behavior of lead project dev
  • article was fine, mastodon.art's mod didn't like the person who originally posted it

  • joinfirefish.org is a bit messy and compliacted
  • I'm using calckey.world and it was a bit crunchy at first but is working well now. The userbase at this point is small compared to the mastodon servers we're used to seeing.

  • Elon Musk says Twitter logo to change, birds to be gradually abandoned
  • Early on, he was selling some of his Tesla stock, thus depressing its value, in order to fund twitter. So I don't believe the theory that he bought it specifically to tank it. Though he may eventually claim "I meant to do that".

  • Elon Musk says Twitter logo to change, birds to be gradually abandoned
  • This seems like an admission that twitter is dead.

  • Openai hiring alignment researchers to create an automated alignment researcher
  • This is just more marketing on OpenAI's part, to push the idea that they are close to creating something "smarter" than humans.

  • Meta's upcoming AcitivityPub-enabled app Threads will only come with an "import from Mastodon" option. The new network won't federate on day one.
  • I'm confused by this - there are various things Meta might want from the Fediverse (free content, more data, more people to serve ads to), but new users can't be one of them. No one from Mastodon is likeky to migrate to Meta's platform; the people who want to use Meta are already there.

  • While I'm with you partly (I don't think rights should be removeable to majority rule), I'm not sure how much effective democracy we actually have, as I don't see much of a straight line between the power of individuals to vote and the ability to gain policies that people actually want.

  • Do you trust FiveThirtyEight without Nate Silver?
  • My trust in him dropped after being exposed to his activity on twitter. It seemed like he had a habit of trying to apply his knowledge to things he didn't understand or where he was missing the point. I'm no longer on twitter and can't remember specific examples, so it may have been more that that format did not work for him.

  • Poland erects wall on Belarusian border to stop uncontrolled migration
  • Nope, absolutely disagree. People were being used as pawns and pushed towards the border by Belarus, where they were freezing and Poland would not let humanitarian aid or journalists reach them. Neither country's government gave a shit about the value of human life.

  • Poland erects wall on Belarusian border to stop uncontrolled migration
  • When there were people freezing near the border, that was on Poland as well.
