   #Fosstodon is basically done. Time to migrate. Can you recommend anything?

   I'm looking for a big, sustainable instance with reasonable rules. Preferably focused on free software. Preferably Mastodon. Self-hosting is out of question. What do people use?

   I know of #FlossSocial, but @mycorrhiza is there already, and I don't want to have two accounts on one instance.

     @travisfw @wraptile it's bad enough for numerous instances to defederate, and for Betula, a public project, it's quite important. I believe that the new admin team will set things straight, but I don't think refederation will happen.

     Although I don't exactly know what are the numbers... Will take a look into it later.

     @betula @travisfw @wraptile According to the public blocklist data, fosstodon was defederated by 10-15 instances following the drama. It's nothing.

     @betula @mycorrhiza missed the drama, was it really _that_ bad?

     @silverpill @betula @travisfw @wraptile Ever since FBA's existence became well-known, many started simply hiding their blocklists, so you could estimate the count being at least twice as much as that. Also the crawler is a basic `for` loop so it'll take a while for it to register the count fully.

     @brettm @betula @travisfw @wraptile Yes, this data source is not accurate, because some instances don't publish their blocklists, but it's objective. The real number is probably several times larger, but not orders of magnitude larger.

     @silverpill@mitra.social @betula@fosstodon.org @travisfw@fosstodon.org @wraptile@fosstodon.org Idon't think that list is accurate, on my own timeline I saw about 10 instances say they were defederating.
