Comparing my list to followers/following here to what it looked like on #Twitter, I don't see a lot of people from #India, or that region of the world, here on #Mastodon? This is a bit surprising to me. I can't remember having seen any discussions on this either, so I'd be interested to hear why people think that is, or even better, that I'm wrong!
I have this habit of correlating different places/localities of different cities. Specially if I know the places or have stayed there.
So far, for example, this is what I feel about #bangalore and #kolkata :
Indiranagar : Salt Lake (not Sector 5, the older parts)
Bellandur: Howrah
Do you guys have this mental habit of doing similar things?
Request for admins: You might've seen this mentioned, but I wrote a tool to help people move their posts when they change instances.
It's still in development, but I'd like to hear from instance admins if there's anything about it they're worried might affect their instances, or anything that could be made clearer in the documentation to help.
The documentation is here: https://mastodoncontentmover.github.io/
If you have time, it'd be great to hear your thoughts 🙏
(Boosts much appreciated!)
Had an interesting experience today - I went to YouTube and started unsubbing from all the oldest channels I had subscribed to. Here's what I saw:-
1. A lot of the channels I saw were basically dead, their last uploads being 5-10 years ago. Felt weirdly sobering, like I've gotten old and seen people abandon fledgeling careers.
2. A lot of channels were cleaned out and moved to second channels.
3. A lot of people rebranded to RW content - unsuccessfully - and then left their channel anyway.
