I decided to move to another instance in Mastodon. I chose the primary one as it seems like it's the most bullet-proof choice.

My reasons for leaving my previous instance was not having faith in the servers being there in the future since the maintainer constantly mentioned monetary worries and prayed for donations "to keep the lights on".

Selfish as it is, I'm not interested in paying monthly subs or donating for social media usage, even if we would factor in privacy, ads and whatnot.

If you have a fediverse account, you can quote this note from your own instance. Search https://mastodon.social/ap/users/116108868220648369/statuses/116108978649958672 on your instance and quote it. (Note that quoting is not supported in Mastodon.)
