Really interesting to read about the history of switter.ai, a sex work-friendly Mastodon instance that closed in March of this year.
See here:
https://switter.at/about
At time of closure, Switter was the 3rd biggest Mastodon instance in the fediverse with 435,490 users.

While we’re sad to say goodbye, we are eager to preserve your farewells. We’ll be collecting posts under the hashtag #FarewellSwitter on Twitter/Mastodon to display on the memorial site. ☂️
@chendo Thank you once again to you & #AssemblyFour for taking a stand and trying to make a difference. ❤️
I'm sure not only software issues but administrative / moderation that we mere users don't know much about going on, as well as the Big Picture as cited in the public statement.
I hope #Tryst is safe?
Reading early toots of @[email protected] & the team- such joy & hope
Gotta think of something to write on Twitter under #FarewellSwitter alas, multi-tweets, a skill that I've yet to master

I’m extremely sad that we’re shutting down Switter.at today. It will go offline after almost 4 years of serving the community of over 433k users.
#FarewellSwitter. You will be missed, but not forgotten.
