I've been talking with an academic researcher who is interested in speaking with people who have shut down their fediverse servers, for any reason.

I know it's a touchy subject so I didn't want to just refer her directly to people, but if you are seeing this message and you're interested, please DM me and I will give you her email. I did a 1-hour interview with her on more general topics and really enjoyed the experience.

(Boosts appreciated!)

I think this is important research, in particular, as the #Fediverse will be experiencing a major change: invasion of the #Metas.

@darius That would be me. A software update failed, and I didn't have the spoons to deal with it. Running a Mastodon instance was, for me, an unfunded side project of an unfunded side project; it became more effort (and expense) than it was worth to me.

@darius You could speak with @FT as they launched one and closed it due to legal concerns around moderation. ft.com/content/8d995a24-d77c-4
