If you want, you can move your Mastodon account from one instance (server) to another.

Moving lets you take your followers, follows and some settings with you.

1. Create a new account on the instance you want to move to, but DO NOT delete the old account.

2. Log into your NEW account, go to Edit Profile > Moving From A Different Account, click on "create an account alias" and follow the instructions.

3. Log into your OLD account, go to Edit Profile > Move To A Different Account, click on "configure it here" and follow the instructions.

4. On your OLD account, go to Preferences > Import And Export > Data Export and download the settings and follows lists.

5. On your NEW account, go to Preferences > Import And Export > Import and upload the lists you just downloaded in the previous step.

After doing all these, your old account will redirect to the new one, and your followers will transfer automatically (with a short delay).

The New Books Network is a great way to keep track of new academic publications

This is a set of podcast channels on specific academic topics with authors of works that don't otherwise see much if any exposure in the lay press.

I've been a fan for several years. A random endorsement just because it's an underappreciated gem.

https://joinfediverse.wiki

Right now I'm gathering feedback from people who are not deep into the Fediverse yet.
What you can do to help:
* #boost this post.
* show the wiki to your non-fedizen friends and forward me their feedback.
* of course you can give me feedback yourself even if you're a Fediverse veteran.
* help edit the wiki. For now I wrote almost everything myself.

Happy holidays everybody. 🎉

Two years ago we made this video with journalists speaking up for Julian Assange. He has now spent over 3500 days locked down, suffered from severe depression and just had a stroke. The procedure in the UK could take another 2 to 3 yrs, and he faces 175 yrs of prison in the US. For what? Leaking US and UK war crimes in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Full support to @laura and @aral (and bye #Better) ✊

« In fact, we were going to discontinue Better then as we couldn’t afford to keep two organisations going but we received an offer from #Apple to sort things out. I naïvely took them at their word and announced it as " a happy ending " …

Right afterwards, Apple went entirely silent on us »

Mostly for #GameDev : #TinyTools « is a list of small, free or experimental tools that might be useful in building your game / website / interactive project » 🛠 https://tinytools.directory

Apparently #facebook doesnt own the #meta trademark but is using it anyway... I really hope this ends with them looking like a fool.

Trevor NOAH once again impeccable about the #RightToRepair movement (and #Apple in particular) 👌 https://youtu.be/UA7hZDfQDws

Can YOU Fix Climate Change? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yiw6_JakZFc

"Shifting responsibility from the largest carbon emitters to the average person, YOU, is easier to do than solving the problems. ...

We have just witnessed a global experiment in staying at home, not using transport and consuming less during the Corona virus pandemic and all it did was reduce CO2 emissions by 7% in 2020. ...

The concept of your carbon footprint was popularized by the oil producer BP in a 2005 ad campaign."

Next year, my older son starts highschool. They use MS Office 365, which I consider a tragic waste. I feel very strongly that my boy shouldn't have to install any Microsoft (or any other proprietary) products in order to study at a public school. It's ethically indefensible, esp on his Linux-powered laptop. He can use excellent, functionally equivalent #FOSS & if the tech staff don't 'get it' & insist on MSO, then they'll have a major problem on their hands.
