p.s. Mastodon is part of the Fediverse, more info here:

➡️ fedi.tips/mastodon-and-the-fed

You can move your account and keep your followers & follows if a server is closing down:

For full independence, it is much cheaper and easier than you think to start your own server, more info here:

The smallest Mastodon server starts from around $8 a month, and that includes the hosting company doing all the technical stuff for you.

@feditips The average cost of acquisition for a server in the fediverse is no doubt much, much lower than acquiring a large centralized provider. Also, as I understand this model, user data isn't distributed, so there are still centralization risks for people's accounts together with these much lower barriers to entry in buying out servers.

@feditips $8/mo for an independent branch of decentralized social network sure beats $8/mo for a measly scrap of "skin" in some narcissistic billionaire's demented game.
