@design_RG yup im actually really close to getting that up as a test instance. I took a day off because my mom was down (still is)

@freemo @design_RG wait what? y'all are switching to #Pleroma?

@realcaseyrollins

No, we are setting up a test instance so people can try it and see if they want to move, also so i can try developing some features for it that would be a must have..

But we are considering it.

Then you can die and not know the culture of the internet

@realcaseyrollins

Boss sees the clear advantage, and has a test instance for getting used to it and considering a migration.

Our hosting costs are high and getting worse -- this might help a lot.

More responsive and less hardware requirements == lower hosting costs indeed.

He needs to see if the database can be imported in Pleroma, and then offer a temp test instance for the userbase to try. With the MastodonFE front end it should be an easy transition to anyone.

Plus he wants all his extras, the ones added to this instance already; that complicates things somewhat.

But there's movement in that direction, the ship is turning. Happy to report that! 🚢

@freemo

@realcaseyrollins Last I heard, *switching* was not in @freemo 's plan because some QOTO specific features would need to be rewritten. But it could be worth setting up a test instance to see what it is like.

No hard decisions have made either way. For now we are testing, considering, and maybe.

I am not wondering about this...
