Each new generation on the web needs to learn that there’s no such thing as a permanent web identity on a commercial web service.
The only long-term solution to maintain your identity is:
1. your own domain name
2. Your own website/blog
3. Several backupsEverything else is temporary. Your accounts on myspace, facebook, medium, twitter, google plus, youtube, tiktok, mastodon will one day disappear or become useless.
You don’t have a "community" on those websites. Only ephemeral discussions.

@aaronpk speaking of indieauth, something that i mentioned to @DickHardt over IIW was that I really really really want to make my handle be @sgo.to.
Can't we come up with some form of convention that when you run into a @domain.example we do the indieauth thingy? -
If you haven’t already, even if you don’t have a mastodon account, run fedfinder and save the lists of your followers/follows so you can import them later. https://fedifinder.glitch.me

I’m still not going to leave this place until it collapses around me, because I’ve always secretly wanted to be in an end of the world movie and this is as close to Deep Impact as I’m going to get. But if you are trying out Mastodon, I’m @tomcoates on http://mastodon.cloud
