@tchambers@pfrazee.com@bsky.brid.gy 100% I'm on both platforms for different reasons - I appreciate them both differently. I do not see them in competition.
@edbott@shoq I assume the ownership of joinmastodon.org was different than ownership of instances.social - b/c the latter served a far longer list of servers with more descriptions and data. It's unfortunate that joinmastodon.org did not cross promote the other page for additional instance self-service.
Dear Twitter ex-pats. When we all flounced out of Twitter loudly proclaiming we were going to Mastodon this sent a message to trolls, nazis that they could set up servers & come here.
If anyone gets harrassed with hatespeech pls note that that is not the culture of Mastodon. Please report & block those users. If you notice a pattern from the same weird domain, block that domain, write a post of the server name w/ a hashtag fediblock so your server admin can follow up & block it for everyone.
Question - if I de-activate my birdsite account that doesn't delete it right? I don't want someone hijacking my username. I'm already deleting my content and data.
