   that makes it two of us! I've used GNU for over 33 years, and GNU social (and its earlier incarnations) for 16 years next month. it's not without a lot of sadness that I decided to leave GNU social behind, but I'm just not competent to install, run and maintain so much code in a programming language I'm not competent at, and I did not feel so comfortable on an instance whose announcements I couldn't understand (it will be years before I can read enough Japanese for that), and that appears to request contributions from its members in ways I couldn't contribute or even understand. I didn't wish to be a burden, so I figured I had to run my own instance, and then I came across a fediverse server that is free software, lightweight and written in a programming language I'm fluent at, so my path became clear. I hope you carry the torch and keep the flame alive for a very very long time! live long and prosper in freedom! thanks,

     arigatoo gozaimasu :-)
     
     ... for hosting my primary fediverse account since gnusocial.net announced it was shutting down, until I managed to set up my own fediverse instance.
     
     I've just unsubscribed from all active accounts (other than yours) that I used to follow here, which may lighten the load on your server, and I probably won't be posting much from here any more, having encouraged others to follow me at my new home: @lxo (it became apparent that GNU social will link to gnusocial.net, despite tagging and copying the correct account; that looks like a bug)
     
     if there's an easy way to back up what's left of my account, so that I can keep a local record of my own posts, that would be much appreciated. otherwise, I can probably arrange something myself.
     
     I don't intend to close the account right away, so as to keep the link-forward active for some time, but I will likely do so in due time, if my inactivity doesn't shut it down automatically at some point.
     
     thank you very much!
