my mastodon account is less than 48 hours old, so i am not the best person to answer this. i will say this much, though: anything i write that i feel has value will always go onto a site that i control. currently, that's my blog with my name on it. if i'm forced to move to a new mastodon instance, i won't lose much.

You should consider linking to your Mastodon profile in your blog. I didn't see it in that post, or in your "About" page.

my mastodon link is on the front page of my site. i decided not to put it in the article because i want to emphasize the phenomenon rather than my own small place in it. and who knows, maybe i’ll move soon, just to demonstrate for myself that it is possible.

several hours later: yep, i did, in fact, just move my account! it wasn’t exactly easy. not something i would expect a novice to be able to do by themselves. but anyone who is reasonably technical can do it.
