* Mastodon - Options for Moving an Account ? *

*** "Take your information and do what you want with it." ***

That suggestive text sounds like Freedom of movement is granted and important, doesn't it? That is directly copied from Documents at JoinMastodon.org -https://docs.joinmastodon.org/user/moving/.

The truth is less rosy though. There are easy and reliable ways to :

* Export the list of people you Follow.
* Export lists of people you Mute (hiding their posts from your view)
* Export lists of people and instances you Blocked (barring their content reaching you).

But, sadly -- your personal data, all the Toots you spent time in, the images and videos contained in them. Not easily accessible.

If an instance dies (and it does happen), it's all Lost. We need better. Facebook is now offering a wonderful User Data Export tool.

I love Writing, so this is Long Form prose. Lavishly illustrated, References and links included. A Web Magazine page I am proud of.
