Meanwhile, I can see this very Mastadon post with no login just fine.

And the interface is not trying to assault me. It loads quick.

...Seems like a better product than Twitter for a public feed.

Early days of Twitter were just like that. Mastodon hasn't had the time to go to shit yet.

The point of it is that it isn't a company but a standard, so if one instance owner goes crazy and patches ads in you can move to another (or your own) and keep your network

Sorry if this is a dumb question, I’m still new to it. Wouldn’t you have the same problem as with an email address? I mean, your handle or whatever it is called would still point to that instance/owner right? Or is there some kind of “DNS” or registry so you can move your handle to other instances?

Let’s say that I want to move my @ploum@mamot.fr account (my real Mastodon account) to another server, let say "writing.exchange".

1. I create an account @ploum@writing.exchange on writing.exchange.

2. I go to mamot.fr and, in the settings, I enable migration to @ploum@writing.exchange.

3. I go to writing.exchange and, in the settings, I start the migration from @ploum@mamot.fr.

All my followers and following are automatically transfered. For them, it is transparent. They still follow me on my new account without them being even notified.

Of course, you need cooperation from mamot.fr. If mamot.fr decide to close your account, you can’t migrate it.

But it works well, I’ve used it myself. It is really great and allows people to do "server hoping" to join a community that fit better their need.

Thanks for the explanation.
