Highlighting nice servers on Mastodon and the Fediverse

@matt Yes, smaller amounts would be easier to see as a failure to produce the right receipts or invoices or some basic accounting errors. I would like to think it is all a misunderstanding but in any case stepping aside until "cleared up" would be wise to avoid increased collateral damage.

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.

@ClintonAnderson If they are based in Canada it could also be that mstdn.ca is having a crisis and lots of people are jumping onto new instances.
@evdelen @Bowreality @javensbukan @mayintoronto Looks like the meeting is postponed.

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.
