When a traditional social media site shuts down (G+, app.net) your entire social graph is scattered to the wind - to other proprietary systems that don't interoperate. When a Mastodon server shuts down, you just import your follows list into a new account.

@Gargron

Is there an import tool for "lists" now ?

@Gargron it’s great but would love to see posts come along for the ride. Also are filters able to be transferred and I’m just missing it?

@Gargron Yeah, I remember Google+ & App.net! I signed up for both of them years ago & in the end Google did not fail to disappoint by ending a potentially great product (the same way the ruined Google Reader) while App.net was awesome, but they embraced the freemium model, flooding the site full of spam (as there was little moderation).

@Gargron Huh ... but AFAIK that's one way right ? i.e. you loose all your followers ?
