Ok, that's exciting.

Moved from mastodon.nz. The transfer somehow ate

a) all my settings (eg my 2k+ filters)

b) all my following

Despite exporting everything before I started (utterly useless information there).

So, looks like I'll need to manually refollow everything. Please be patient.

Ugh. Fucking mastodon eh?

@sidawson Sorry to read that. I had said years ago that data portability was BS. You never know, it might catch up.

@jackyan Eh. I doubt it. Just gotta recreate months of work from scratch.

Fucking tedious.

ie, you were - as so often - 100% correct.

@sidawson Unfortunately, like you, I found out the hard way.

@jackyan Argh. Yeah, it's the filters that I miss the most. Holy shit I spent months curating those

@sidawson Aw man, that sucks. 🙁 It does remind me why I haven’t moved despite having that Vivaldi Social account (and getting a really intolerant response from a total stranger yesterday did not help!).

@jackyan Yeaaah. I'd thought (ahh, sweet summer child that I was) that moving instances would be harmless, easy, relatively painless.

Alas. It's about on par with changing email addresses.

So dumb. The tech is almost there. I mean, key mechanisms are clearly in place. But the implementation is about 15% done, if I'm generous. Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

@sidawson Seems like another long-lauded feature never tested in the real world before its claims were made, like self-driving Teslas.
