I know. unCW'd Rant inbound, but this has important information about the status of Kitsu. Mastodon.social users are encouraged to read, if you follow a user on KitsuClub or KitsuGay.

Kitsu will soon be Defederating from Mastodon.social, as a large wave of spambots began to attack users from the official instance.

This will be one of the last few messages from Kitsu that will arrive at Mastodon.social; considering that the full platform has swelled beyond moderability, and the choices that they have made on their apps to obscure joining a different server - essentially hiding the choice to pick you own server - I feel it's in our best interest to finally pull the plug.

If you've known me for any amount of time, you know how much I despise Mastodon. It's underbaked, underperformant, and overappreciated. If you want to continue to receive messages from our users, then you can register for KitsuClub or KitsuGay, or take a peek at the resources that I've listed.

This isn't to say that we will be banning all Mastodon instances! The other fediverse instances are welcome to stay for a while and have tea with our community. We will only be defederating from Mastodon.social, not the entirety of Mastodon.

If you're looking for some resources:
- Mastodon Serverlist
- Calckey Serverlist
- How to Migrate from Mastodon

Please feel free to ask questions about this decision, and how that might affect you.
Cheers!
