Moving instances again so repeating my #introduction. Hello! #Stats & #ComputerScience #student at #McGill #University in #Montreal (I'd love to meet up with you!). From #Shanghai. Used to #code a lot (most notably Barinsta), not so much these days. Knows a bit of everything; jack of none. Supports #privacy #EthicalTech #PublicTransport et al. Loves #Japanese pop culture (#jpop, #railfanning and #manga / #anime). Posts too much #lunch. What else should I write here?
@austin what was the motivation for the instance move? Just curious how people choose their instances these days
@keverets I've moved 3 times, all 3 of them due to administrative misconduct:
* ieji.de due to admin's free speech stance;* mastodon.nz partially due to https://gist.github.com/dznz/53a624edca2b6644930a9af22eb5ab42 (partially due to it being in New Zealand = high latency)* mstdn.ca due to https://mstdn.party/@austin/111603979705045480
I've considered a few other instances but they just don't have enough reach for me. (Do note that I mod this instance since April, so there is a bias.)
