Should Mastodon GmbH consider offering a service to take over or host instances that are losing their maintainers?<br/><br/>Of course, full data portability would make closures less disruptive. But the persistence of posts themselves is also important: old posts help people navigate, search, and filter the enormous volume of information on the internet. When an instance disappears, that public record can disappear with it. 2026-07-07T20:16:20Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqswe4uu6dsvqm4vvh8j8re2eyqt52807xdjal3mxzl9csjx3mxm2gszypltyaqtzqvw5w49jzrxzcsw5wucht0znkjnmkymmp3kdjc725spxjjy75r In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsxw75mmw3p4dtqc6wga99h5nl2g5d66qe9m2aal059eh63jxwj2xc6vgjvc'>nevent1q…gjvc</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>They point to a few examples, which overstates the scope of the issue.

Since I’ve been using the service, there have been several such campaigns, focused on moderation levels and software updates.<br/><br/>Given the broader impact on the user base, it would be helpful to know whether and how you plan to address these concerns, or if there is an official statement users can reference. 2026-02-08T09:42:28Z
