HEY HEY FRENZ on mastodon.social! You may want to MOVE to a new instance, very soon.

Why?  

Mastodon is a bunch of islands that can talk to each other. The smaller and more spread out we are, the easier things are to moderate. Horizontal scaling FTW!

All of you who fled that one site 🐤 ended up at mastodon.social for likely a few reasons. It was obvious, it was big, and it's where you saw a bunch of folks going.

But it has a long history of being poorly moderated, which means a LOT of instances are silencing or blocking it. Which means you're on the big island that SEEMS like it's "where everyone is", but in fact, it's a giant island unto itself (momentarily trending toward turning into a post-bird-site echo chamber), and huge swaths of the Fediverse don't talk to it, or even see it.

If you want the quality of interaction (and moderation!) Mastodon is known for, move thy funky buns to a smaller instance of cool folks you enjoy.

@hollie thank you for the tip, is there a way to move to a new one or should I just make a new account?

@ratmajesty I don’t like all the ads on this page but it has the right directions!

@hollie @ratmajesty Ads? I thought they don't have ads.
@hollie thank you so much for the site! It solved the question I had! :D @ratmajesty Hollie was referring to the website with the steps. It's colluded with ads! But a good ad-blocker will do the trick :D
