wrote a blog post about why i moved from GoToSocial to Sharkey, the state of ActivityPub mobile apps (not great if you're western and use a Misskey/Misskey fork server, sorry), and why i find myself hoping Bluesky adds something like MFM one day.

I have seen the power of MFM. I consider it cursed and wont add it to wafrn.

But I hope some day sharkey adds support for marquee

[gabboman@gabboman.xyz]

next time check wafrn! its… different and a very opinionated software not gona lie.

But its what it takes to do what wafrn does

[ewan@ap.ewancroft.uk]

@gabboman@gabboman.xyz i did mention it!

[ewan@ap.ewancroft.uk]

@gabboman@gabboman.xyz if I were to migrate to Wafrn, how would i migrate my AT Protocol identity? I wouldn’t want to ditch it since I’ve got a massive amount of *sunk-cost fallacy* with it.

[gabboman@gabboman.xyz]

wafrn hosts a PDS and you moove your account to it with pdsmoover, and there is a button with a guide to migrate

[ewan@ap.ewancroft.uk]

@gabboman@gabboman.xyz great to know!

[ewan@ap.ewancroft.uk]

[gabboman@gabboman.xyz]

[ewan@ap.ewancroft.uk]

@gabboman@gabboman.xyz @jb@waf.moe it is app.wafrn.net, yeah.
