Hendrik KueckThe Mastodon instance I am on might be shutting down. I am debating between moving to mastodon.social and iosdev.space. The way Mastodon works there are a number of advantages to being on the mega instance that most others are on. But are there significant downsides too?
Chris Wu 🪐@hendrik it could be the target of attacks, like that crypto spam we saw recently. With that being said, I’ve had a very positive experience.
@MuseumShuffle thanks! I would imagine the giant instance likely is able to react to something like that faster since they probably have a team for dealing with moderation and attacks like that.
@hendrik did see some instances say that they were going to temporarily throttle posts from social because it was happening. Nowhere near enough of an issue to make me switch to another instance though.
