Clarification

You do not have to worry about your mastodon.social (m.s) account being defederated.

There is a well meaning, but misleading post currently promoted that suggests you should move your m.s account because:

1) "Instance admins are considering defederating them"
2) "Their admin is making spam accounts easier to create."

Very few, if any, instances are considering blocking m.s, and the recent spam attacks are worthy of sober discussion, not hyperbole. [more]

@mastodonmigration while I understand your point, I don’t think it is kosher to just say “to be to block” It feels like gmail and outlook of having giants. I don’t fully think it’s a bad thing, but it can breed complacency and letting the big instances bully smaller instances with might the “to big to be blocked”

That said, many instances might not defederate a bunch of us do silence your instance. Moderation issues as well as the just massive noise from an instance so large.
