And I do not want to appear unsympathetic to the person involved and wish them all the best as they face this situation and for their wellbeing.

It is, however, a serious and significant accusation, reported in the media and therefore stepping away from other commitments would be the right thing to do. This should have been done when it first emerged but the next best time is now.

Transferring your Mastodon account to another server | Fedi.Tips โ€“ An Unofficial Guide to Mastodon and the Fediverse

An unofficial guide to using Mastodon and the Fediverse

If a leader in a non-profit or other organization is accused of theft (even if in another organization) they would normally step aside from any position of authority until such time as the matter is resolved.

With a Mastodon instance with a sole owner/administrator, and the servers in their house, that is not as easy. For mstdn.ca to continue operating it is essential.

In the meantime the choice is for the users to make their own decisions. I have chosen to move away from mstdn.ca while this is resolved.

This is a sad situation as someone with a lot of time for #Mastodon and a former (small) donor to #mstdnca

If you are on mstdn.ca you should be aware of this CBC article concerning your instance operator:

The great thing about the Fediverse is that there are thousands of independent instance servers. If for any reason you want to change, you can migrate to another server pretty easily.

Here are the @FediTips step by step instructions.

I have enjoyed my time on mstdn.ca after my last instance had to shut down (with proper notice) but I do not want to risk having to start with a blank sheet again as I do appreciate reading your toots and opinions.

Now to refollow all those lovely hashtags which cannot be imported.

New server - so please give me some time to get back in the groove. Apologies for all the new follow notifications and requests. #newinstance
