Here's more:
You can easily download who you are following, your lists and blocks. This merely makes a copy. It does not affect the original instance.
You can upload those to TurtleIsland.social which is Mastodon 4.2.0 that now allows even lists to be uploaded.
And you'll probably end up with more followers, especially if you let me help you.
Moving is hell. In real life as well as instances, we all get that.
Here's a thing: You can have more than one Fediverse account.
If you're Native/Indigenous and want to support Native/Indigenous instances, just do it! You don't even have to migrate.
https://turtleisland.blog/migrating-to-the-turtleisland-social-mastodon-instance/
You can have a TurtleIsland.social #Mastodon account, a TurtleIsland.art #Pixelfed account, a TurtleIsland.video #PeerTube account & an account wherever you are now.
I have a backup account too.
I'm REALLY looking forward to seeing what Natives in Tech does with their brand new TurtleIsland.video Peertube account:
If you are in tech, I'd follow them now to get on the ground floor of what they have to share!

Tired of talking about boomers etc., but consider my advice:
Don't be distracted from the fact that you can't fix #Colonialism #Capitalism etc.
These things & more must be abandoned or you will not have a planet that will be habitable for humans, at least in their current evolutionary state.
Less than 40 or 50? You have a real problem on your hands.
Replacing one colonial concept like capitalism with another colonial system won't work either.

Seriously, it is some kind of messed up if there are no #BIPOC #PeerTube #Pixelfed and other major categories of Fediverse instances, just a handful of #Mastodon-type instances...
Just in case you ever questioned how white the Fediverse is... #JustSayin
We're still forming details, but we are accepting Native and Indigenous registrations at https://TurtleIsland.video.
There are at least 7 slots open right now.
There are no other Native/Indigenous instance requirements. Also no artist or creative requirements. Personal is fine.
I think the TurtleIsland.video PeerTube install is good. Should be permanent, but we'll call it a release candidate for now - RC1, ha!
Def have some some configuration and decorating to do...
The CDN is much faster than the VPS disk, so it's livable, but I definite am seeking #BIPOC #PeerTube instances to peer with, which will improve performance and community.
Are there any out there, or is TurtleIsland.video the only one?

All that said, our Pixelfed instance and hopefully soon Peertube instance are self hosted. They are in a test mode, so to speak. I do hope to find masto.host level hosting for them eventually.
In the meantime, the docker containers and the upgrades, etc. are managed by their maintainers, so that takes a lot of the edge off me (I think).
But they do need to be hosted instead, and I'm sure the Fediverse will keep growing and that day will come.
3/
And so that is why TurtleIsland.social moved to masto.host, whom I consider the prime supplier of Mastodon hosting services.
I am extremely glad we did this, and I have 100% confidence that TurtleIsland.social is in the top echelon of server reliability.
I also have 100% confidence that TurtleIsland.social will be around for a very long time.
We can grow to any size, with any level of high demand or celebrity users. And we will grow.
2/
I also realized TurtleIsland.social wouldn't be likely to survive if I met my ancestors or had a catastrophic health issue unexpectedly.
At this point in my life, strengthening cultural and community ties, and passing them along with a healthy dose of whatever wisdom I have accumulated to my descendants and others are my primary driving forces.
It is critically important to me that @Tzipporah be able to take an increasingly dominant role in TurtleIsland.social.
1/
Initially, I really enjoyed the technical aspects of running a Mastodon instance. In time, making sure it was running continuously, upgraded to current versions and backed up locally and off-site did become a source of anxiety.
It was a great education though.
But I realized running servers and building community were two different things, neither served well by the combination of both for primarily one technical person.

Biden Administration Commits $200 Million to Help Reintroduce #Salmon in Columbia River
==
Dams had blocked salmon’s passage, driving them toward extinction and violating tribal fishing rights. The money will fully fund #Native tribes’ plans to bring fish back to the region.
Martin Scorsese’s new epic – which is released next month – is thrilling in sweep and timely in subject matter: a revisiting of real events in Osage County, Oklahoma, during the 1920s, where land rights and oil reserves made the Osage the wealthiest per capita population in the world, and the focus of murderous attention by the white inhabitants.

In years the only time I have seen scams it was non-Natives or non-Native orgs acting like they were Native or associated with Native Nations or reservations. It was never Native Indigenous people scamming.

Judge dismisses #pipeline #protest charges against 3 #Native women
Kirsti Marohn
Brainerd, #Minnesota
September 18, 2023 3:45 PM
"Opponents of the #Line3 oil pipeline are celebrating an Aitkin County judge’s decision to dismiss charges against three Native women related to a 2021 protest.
"Activists #WinonaLaDuke, #TaniaAubid and #DawnGoodwin helped lead rallies as #Enbridge began work on a new #OilPipeline across northern Minnesota more than two years ago.
"The charges against them stemmed from a rally on Jan. 9, 2021, when a large group gathered at a pipeline construction site near the #MississippiRiver in Aitkin County.
"The opponents, who called themselves #WaterProtectors carried signs and walked down a county road. Some Native women danced in jingle dresses, a healing tradition.
"Some group members later moved to another Aitkin County location, where they walked along U.S. Highway 169 and refused to leave a Line 3 construction site.
"LaDuke, Goodwin and Aubid were not arrested on Jan. 9. Authorities charged them weeks later by summons after identifying them in social media posts. They faced gross misdemeanor charges of trespassing and harassment, as well as misdemeanor unlawful assembly and public nuisance.
"A jury trial was scheduled to begin this week. But in a forceful opinion filed Sept. 14, District Court Judge Leslie Metzen dismissed all the charges.
"Metzen’s order noted the government’s historical mistreatment of #Indigenous people.
"'In the last 20 years I have come to a broader understanding of what we, the now dominant culture, did to try to eradicate our indigenous neighbors,' she wrote. 'We moved them by force and power and violence off the land where they lived for thousands of years. To make peace, we signed treaties with them that promised many things they never received.'
"Metzen wrote that she finds it 'within the furtherance of justice' to protect the defendants who were peacefully protesting to protect the land addressed in those treaties.
"She wrote that as respected members of #Anishinaabe tribes, LaDuke, Aubid and Goodwin were exercising their #FreeSpeech rights and #spiritual beliefs, including 'their heartfelt belief that the waters of Minnesota need to be protected from damage that could result from the #pipeline.'
'To criminalize their behavior would be the crime,' she added."
