Just another thing for users to be worried about.
- easrng 4y agoI've moved twice so far (didn't like the (lack of) moderation on the first instance I was on, the second one is shutting down in a bit and they gave everyone advance notice so we all moved off) and it's very painless, not worrying at all.
- rolenthedeep 4y agoNo, not any more than you worry about Twitter shutting down. And when Twitter does eventually shut down, all of those users will lose their accounts and followers forever with no recourse. When a mastodon server shuts down, you click the 'migrate account' button and continue like nothing happened.
- appletrotter 4y agoTwitter has never shut down before. As has been said, instances go down all the time.
