Mastodon has the same fatal flaw. They want to keep your history and relationships hostage so you can’t leave.

You can migrate your relationships to a new Mastodon server.

And while you can’t directly transfer the history (the debate over how/whether to do this has gone on for literally years), you can export an archive you can keep locally, and there are tools out there to parse it and convert it to some other form (static website, whatever). Someone’s probably written an importer by now, though I’d have to look.

#Bookwyrm is a book review site like Goodreads

#WriteFreely is a blogging service, and Medium is actually working on Fediverse integration.

Hmm, that’s close, but not quite. I’m testing to find out what’s confirmed to work and not work between each pair of platforms, not what features are supported on each.

Ex. Lemmy and GoToSocial both support following, posting, and replying, and you can do all of them from other platforms like Mastodon…but they can’t interact properly with each other yet.

I’m collecting that sort of thing and reporting bugs to each project as I find them.

I’m reminded of the phrase about someone who knows the price of everything and the value of nothing, except he doesn’t seem to have any sense for effective price points either.

Or maybe he does – I still can’t make up my mind as to where his Twitter approach falls on the malice/incompetence spectrum.
