I am moving Unread’s Mastodon presence to a new account: @unread@goldenhillsoftware.com.

Next week I will setup a redirect so that Mastodon followers of the old account should be redirected to the new account automatically. But if you follow using an ActivityPub/fediverse system other than Mastodon, that redirect may not work for you. Therefore you may want to follow the new account manually.

Reasoning Behind the Change

The company hosting my old Mastodon instance is shutting down. I needed to make some changes to keep the Mastodon presence running.

I created the old Mastodon instance with the host “mastodon.goldenhillsoftware.com”. It was a mistake to use the name “mastodon”, instead of something more generic like “social”. In addition I did not realize at the time that I could make a handle with just the “@goldenhillsoftware.com” domain. The new handle @unread@goldenhillsoftware.com is much cleaner.
