   Hmm. Hearing reports that "mastodon social" is going to be defederated by lots of other servers in the next few days, due to moderation issues. Any friends have recommendations on a good place to migrate to? (I've been on social since 2017.)

     @drskyskull This sucks. I’ve been really active lately and now it’s all going up in smoke if I have to migrate.

     @mcnees @drskyskull I hate that there isn't a way to move our posts to another instance. There's a development issue in mastodon to allow this, but I don't think it's available. Given the rhetoric about moving between instances, this seems like a major oversight.

     @mcnees @drskyskull I think the impetus for others' defederating is blowback over a new mod being sloppy... read more on this thread: https://mastodon.social/@Gargron/109378414604290205

     @mcnees @drskyskull I wouldn’t say “a lot.” I wouldn’t worry about it until after the fact and if people say they can’t follow you. Also, I don’t think what’s happened is being characterized fairly by the instances choosing to defederate. I’m not planning to move.
