I believe in & support socmed federation & decentralization, but honestly I get significantly more pingbacks here at Mastodon.social than I do over at Mastodon.cloud...
I don't want my main Mastodon account to be within mastodon.social because I do believe that Federation is an important enough goal of the Mastodon project to actively support personally in principle.
(That said though I do find it aesthetically pleasing to have at least one userhandle I control here.)

Hi fediverse guys!
There is some good news that I'm going to tell you.
mastodon.cloud was very unstable in the past.
We are the new admin ( @Knzk @imbsky @nzws ) of mastodon.cloud and we suggested to migrate servers etc to TheAdmin.
Just at that time many database related problems were found, and we fixed all now!
Thank you for helping me with so many things!
@Gargron @annotunzdy
And, some rules have been changed.
Please check it out.

talking on the internet is kinda like stage acting, u gotta talk in an unnatural way just to get heard, and over-act emotions or people won't know how to interpret your mood/intentions, etc
Ohwait should've CW'ed that one hold on.
The public performance aspect of public Internet-based social networking services, is not limited only to Twitter.
Just sayin'
Oh and yeah of course said aspect is very real.
Follow everyone and you'll have followed no one.
Subscribe to everything and you've subscribed to nothing.
Google killed Blob the Android emoji; and now the whole Blob family lives on in the general Mastodon Fediverse...
Thatโs bad for your eyes

Hm. Just realized I used the wrong hashtag. Should've used #MastoArt.
Prolly shouldn't have posted that last toot, imagining the potential drama and/or pushback. But eh whatever.

So an update, Mastodon.cloud is *not* dead: https://mastodon.social/@FerdiFZ/100145266990341017
@FerdiFZ I kinda think it is. I've glanced at Valentin Ouvrard's Twitter account and I don't see anything in his bio or his TL about mastodon.cloud. I wish he had offered the instance to a volunteer admin rather than suspend/abandon a large userbase.
