@Richard_Littler@mastodon.social it would also do well to remind ppl that there are so many other Mastodon servers as well as alternate platforms (I'm on a self hosted instance of the misskey fork Calckey for example). The Internet Archive just set up an instance as well as Vivaldi, known for their browser and even MIT. The problems you describe are bc so many folks are going to mastodon.social, a single instance in an ocean of them.
