People on Twitter are using the shutting down of the mastodon.lol instance, to mean that Mastodon “is not a viable model”. Hard disagree.

A strength of Mastodon is that if one instance is shutting, you can easily move to another. It’s quite literally a strength of decentralised systems in action.

@gamingonlinux Those are probably the same people who complained that Mastodon is insecure because it is moderated by random people and the admins can read your DMs. As if that isn't the case for Twitter also.
