@alice what happened in mastodon.cloud? I was not following their instance.

@serigala_tropis @alice they were (are being?) defederated for lacking moderation
Evelyn Octavia@orange_lux @serigala_tropis @alice also that instance is running a (really!) Old mastodon version. Why tho 
@serigala_tropis they sold it to a Japanese LLC years ago, and their admin last posted in 2023. It's a zombie instance with no active moderation as far as we can discern.
Other servers are sick of the spam from it, so there are calls to defederate it.
We (the cool admins of other instances) would like to see all their (non-troll/bot/scam) users find lovely new homes before that happens.
@alice an unmoderated instance? now that is dangerous.
gkrnours@serigala_tropis @alice it would be less dangerous if new account had to be approved by moderation :)
draeath@gkrnours @serigala_tropis @alice there should be a dead-man's switch where if an administrator fails to touch the instance within some time period, that turns on automatically 😅
Kevin Karhan@gkrnours @serigala_tropis @alice which isn't the case so it's rotting there like an open eMail server…
Valerie of the Baeddel 🏳️⚧️@alice @serigala_tropis after some quick investigating, it looks like the mastodon.cloud admin also runs mstdn.jp, which is also horribly out-of-date, and doesn't have an admin post since 2022
they also appear to be affiliated with pawoo.net
