Schrottkatze Apr 23, 2023

hello. i am (involuntarily) back on this account, since my new instance, thekitty.zone got nuked by the admin without prior notice. I have no way of contacting either, they're refusing all invites on matrix and I don't know what happened. I have no way of recovering anything from there.

I used to be @schrottkatze, but I have no way of recovering any followers from there.

I am working on my own instance, but till that's up (hopefully in a few hours), I'll be back here.

 Please boost so people can find me again.

Edit: I am very thankful for everyone who boosted this! :)

I've now once again switched instances, this time to one that I host (well, it's on a VPS), now I'm at @schrottkatze :)

@obsidianical @schrottkatze this is the worst about Mastodon.

@tat2dfarmlady @schrottkatze that implies that something like that can't happen on centralized corporate platforms, which it absolutely can. just that no matter if they provide a notice or not, you can't migrate there.

@obsidianical @schrottkatze Yes it may happen but, I think on corp sites they send notice. On here, for example, an instance can get entirely blocked, without you having anything to do with the reason they got blocked. All you know is that all of the sudden you’re invisible. You have to figure things out on your own a lot. Even if people help it’s hard - not a very intuitive system. I’m on 2 instances, I don’t even know how or why!

@tat2dfarmlady @schrottkatze I mean, yeah. But still, even if they do you can't simply migrate. Of course there's tradeoffs, but i prefer the fediverse anyway because I have more control either way.
