With each passing day, I grow more & more interested in having my content and conversations under my own control.

I already have my own #PeerTube instance. Maybe it's time to spin up my own #Mastodon instance, too?

Hate to lose what I've already posted here, but I can always re-post my intro and my pinned stuff, right?

@killyourfm hmm couldn´t you like download a post archive on mastodon? If it allows you to upload them again I wonder if you can set up the same account elsewhere :o

@vancha You're right, you can export all your posts and uploaded media into an ActivityPub file format (not sure what to do with that, but I have it).

And it seems quite easy to at the very least retain your followers and the accounts you follow.
