I wonder how many people we're gonna lose over this, because I for one, spent time blocking what I wanted to, to curate my feed, and it took time. I already migrated once, I'm not gonna do it again because some people can't realize how toxic it's going to be when they federate with us.

I see a lot of people saying they'll just switch instances but haven't seen anyone say they'll just jump ship, am I alone ? Or maybe I'm missing an option that would allow me to transfer all my settings from one instance to another ?

Personally, I have solar panels that power my whole house. So it's free for me.

The dream. I want to do this too when I buy my house, but living in northern Scandinavia makes it hard to run off solar during the winter.

I live relatively close to the equator (Texas), so it's actually better for me in the winter because I don't need to run the AC.

Texas?! Only steers and queers come from Texas, Private Cowboy, and you don't look much like a steer to me, so that kinda narrows it down!

Because the panels absorb/reflect the light? Or how does that work?

Not sure what you mean, but I just meant that because I use about a quarter of the electricity in the winter while still generating about 90% as much electricity, I end up selling a ton of electricity back to the grid, building up credits that I can use for cloudy days in the spring.

Ah okay, I get you. That's an excellent system.

because it's not as hot in the winter
