I modified a image I saw going around last year on Global Switch Day

Perhaps we could use it to make people aware of Reddit alternatives etc. If you can imporve upon the image please do so, and feel free to use it.
I just threw it together in KolourPaint in a few min.
You pick a piefed server and create an account there. You can transfer subscriptions, but that is not something i have done. Your content posted by your .world account stays with that account however.
As someone who had to jump ship more than 3 times, I keep saying to think of their accounts as disposable because we don’t know if we picked right or when/if the mods/admins/hosts will go crazy.
I started on .world and quickly realized I wanted a smaller instance. So I moved to .ee and sopuli, then when .ee went down I decided to not limit myself to a single instance. I do not have as many accounts as cm02 does, 4 total I think. But only use 3 of them much.
I would recommend exporting your settings just in case. I was using an instance that kind of vanished for a week and then returned, but with my user account completely gone 😱
It’s nice that you can just import your settings from a file on your own hard drive and continue from basically where you left.
I lost my piefed.ee account too. I have my subscriptions backed up manually, but it would probably be a good idea to export, then save it in Bitwarden.
