If you were to look at this, you'd assume that I know what I'm doing. That would be a bad thing to assume. #GeneralAdvice

With all the issues with unattended instances and other problems at the moment, I thought I would share something that I've been considering for a while.

** Keep a second account on a different server as a risk-management strategy **

This will leave you in a good place if recalcitrant admin or other issues occur at your current instance, without a need to scramble as so many have done recently.

Follow the same people, and (I haven't done this but assume that it works) if you use one of the redirection mechanisms of masto, your followers should also show in the second account (see this thread for some pointers). THEN YOU NEED TO CANCEL THE REDIRECTION. Voila, a back-up account.

As this is a risk-mitigation strategy , there is no need to be active in your back-up account unless you want to.
