⚠️ Do not move your account to mastodon.cloud. If you know someone already on mastodon.cloud you might want to suggest they move to a different server.
-Mastodon.cloud's admin hasn't posted since Feb 2023
-There doesn't seem to be any moderation, really awful bigotry is still there months after being reported
-The server software is very outdated and full of unpatched security holes
-Because of all the above, many other servers have defederated mastodon.cloud

Oh no, really sorry to hear 😞
Hopefully the human-curated server lists can help reduce this kind of situation happening to people.

in reply to Ari Sovijärvi • • •I wonder if anyone has reported it to the providers higher up the chain? 🤔
There have been reports via Mastodon's own moderation tools but these have AFAIK all been ignored.

in reply to Fedi.Tips • • •the same admin was responsible for mstdn.jp and pawoo.net, both of them also abandoned and running with outdated and unsupported versions.
(It's what I infer from mstdn.jp/@Sujiyan/109564291832…)

They had suggested adding the fediblock hashtag, so I did. Then they deleted their own post because it was no longer needed.
