People are telling me they kept their followers when they migrated but I have serious doubts.

Last time I used Mastodon's migration tool, I lost all my followers. All it did is lock me out of my account.

If someone could help me with that, that'd be nice.

In case it isn't obvious already, having your username linked to a domain name is a big flaw. Nostr fixes this.

@stephanlivera @verretor I used it when I moved from mastodon.social and I lost all my followers.

Hey @bitcoinhackers, I was permanently banned on Twitter over the weekend and I refuse to create a new account.

Can you guys please boost this so I can find and reconnect with people, thanks!

@Seccour @verretor Wow, that’s like a list of who to follow 😁

I officially have more followers on Mastodon than Twitter so I guess you can say things are getting pretty serious.

@verretor @fiatjaf DMs can be implemented on the client side because every user has a pubkey which other clients can encrypt data to before relaying it. Making encrypted dms an event type is in the works.

I'm still waiting for the lockdown supporters to apologize.
