   If you or someone you know has an account on mastodon.cloud, I would highly recommend migrating to a new server. Lots of instances are in the process of completely blocking mastodon.cloud which will sever all connections for people on mastodon.cloud. Mastodon.cloud is effectively abandoned, running very old and out of date software with minimal moderation resulting in a good deal of moderation work for those of us running other instances.

   I am posting this in hopes that some people on mastodon.cloud see it and decide to take action.

     @modrobert @jerry QOTO's whole purpose was being a cult of "sea-lioning as a path to self-actualization".

     @catsalad @jerry No catsalad is the real reason everyone is going to block that instance.

     Rich Felker repeated this.

     @InsiderTreat is it even a real instance if it has no @catsalad account?

     @jerry Does Mastodon have any way to search your follows/followers lists for users on a particular instance? If so, instructions on how to do that would help people reach out to their contacts about the need to move. Most of us probably don't even know if we have followers from dot cloud.

     @dalias You can look at the directory of every instance: https://mastodon.cloud/directory - always: instance-name / directory
