Mastodawn

⚠️ Do not move your account to mastodon.cloud. If you know someone already on mastodon.cloud you might want to suggest they move to a different server.

-Mastodon.cloud's admin hasn't posted since Feb 2023
-There doesn't seem to be any moderation, really awful bigotry is still there months after being reported
-The server software is very outdated and full of unpatched security holes
-Because of all the above, many other servers have defederated mastodon.cloud

@FediTips I'm genuinely surprised that it can still still survive in this zombie state. A lot of Wordpress and similar sites have pretty quickly attracted from the hosting or co-location company's interest after enough reports have been filed against it for objectionable concept or it just being a trojan payload sharing site.

I wonder if anyone has reported it to the providers higher up the chain? 🤔

There have been reports via Mastodon's own moderation tools but these have AFAIK all been ignored.

@FediTips I don't know, but generally when something web based gets pwned hard enough, sysadmins typically start to raise stink about it. If I spot port scanners or obvious stuff being run against the systems I maintain, I might fire an e-mail to their ISP's abuse address, depending on where they from. With China, Russia etc. I don't bother, US and Europe likely, the Nordics, very likely.
