️ 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-The server software is very outdated and full of unpatched security holes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@FediTips
I check the version of the instance : 4.1.25, released on 2025-04-02 and is unmaintained since this time. -
@FediTips I'm genuinely surprised that it can still still survive in this zombie state. A lot of Wordpress and similar sites have pretty quickly attracted from the hosting or co-location company's interest after enough reports have been filed against it for objectionable concept or it just being a trojan payload sharing site.
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.

p.s. If you want an easy way to discover reliable good servers, there are human-curated server lists at https://fedi.garden and https://joinmastodon.org/servers
All the servers listed on these sites have to comply with certain standards of technical reliability and moderation.
p.p.s. If you want help with moving there's a guide at https://fedi.tips/transferring-your-mastodon-account-to-another-server
ugh
I just moved there with my non-fiction accounts
This is so tiresome -

-Because of all the above, many other servers have defederated mastodon.cloud@FediTips Hm.. I believe they are part of some other instance, maybe pawoo?
I remember a company being behind .cloud and another big instance

@FediTips I don't know, but generally when something web based gets pwned hard enough, sysadmins typically start to raise stink about it. If I spot port scanners or obvious stuff being run against the systems I maintain, I might fire an e-mail to their ISP's abuse address, depending on where they from. With China, Russia etc. I don't bother, US and Europe likely, the Nordics, very likely.

@FediTips the same admin was responsible for mstdn.jp and pawoo.net, both of them also abandoned and running with outdated and unsupported versions.
@cadusilva @FediTips TIL those are all the same admin... and also this:
