   I didn't have much interaction with others on mas.to, so I decided to be active here as well. With the shutdown of jayus.net, I lost most of my followers and those I followed, but I'm nop, who was active on jayus.net.

     Self-hosting is a good solution, indeed. I looked it up recently, and there are services like Masto.host that provide hosting assistance for self-hosting, which is intriguing to me.

     @nop@blob.cat @ryuichi@qoto.org I ended up running my own. But I do have a backup account on vivaldi.

     mas.to has a very fast server response and a simple and good domain name, but the strictness of the blocklist may be an issue for some users. It doesn't seem like a good approach to block the entire instance based on problematic posts from a very small number of people, but considering the cost for the administrators, it might be a practical solution. On the other hand, smaller instances like jayus.net may have unavoidable sudden shutdowns due to various circumstances of the administrators, but the blocklist is not as strict, making it easier to engage in interactions (especially with people who share geeky interests?). Many introductory sites about the Fediverse mention that you can choose your server freely by moving, but in reality, it's difficult to make a choice:blobcatthink:

     @maid @nop Yeah unfortunately mas.to it's one of those instances that doesn't mind blocking entire instances for minor stuff, you can see all the instances that mas.to blocks here

     https://fba.ryona.agency/?reverse=mas.to

     Now compare that with the number of instances that the instance where i'm now blocks

     https://fba.ryona.agency/?reverse=qoto.org

     You have to be very careful when you move to a mastodon instance and choose wisely otherwise you end on a bubble that it's shielded from the rest of the federation.

     If you don't want to leave the mastodon ecosystem, i think vivaldi.social doesn't block anyone.

     @nop@blob.cat mas.to defederates instances for no reason in large amount. :ina_hammer:
