I’ve seen around 3 occasions of that this week, altho I have never seen anything like it before.
if I remember correctly they were:
- smack talking a mod (FlyingSquid) for saying not to report the same comment twice, when they were different comments, and the report was spam
- someone comparing .world with .ml in politics (as in there was a comment saying "this post will be overrun with .ml people, and then a comment going “but you are from .world”) (Maybe Im part of the problem? I have been called out for being a fascist because I questioned the “puching nazis” theme)
- one more which I can’t remember.
Anyways, what is all that about? Are people really starting to hate on 50% of the lemmy population because of their instance?
You can easily export and import your subscriptions from the settings menu, so that makes changing instances quite easy
It’s a shame that there isn’t functionality for a full account port, including comments and posts.
That can easily be abused to overload instances with a lot of content. It’s also technically challenging due to the way comments are posts are linked
Mastodon does not offer it either:
You can link to your former profile from your bio
Their for the tip.
