This week, I went over to Bluesky and asked people who'd left Mastodon why they left, and lots of people told me. I grabbed the replies and crunched them and wrote up a summary. I think it's really interesting and often kind of wrenching.

@Crell @kissane Well following people on other servers is sort of the point, so I don't think this is really a criticism.

Problem is, interest-based servers are needlessly restrictive as people have many interests, not many people are defined solely by one interest.

Other than wanting specific moderation or a sort of broad community (LGBT or PoC, for example), I think the best type of instance is regional. I was on the UK instance for a bit and it was enjoyable actually seeing local stuff.

Following the example of the German government and the European Commission, the government of the Netherlands is now running their own Mastodon server! No middlemen between them and their constituents! Welcome @minbzk!

I have to wonder, how do you feel about such prolific institutions using your software in an official capacity?

Is it more pride or anxiety? I feel like I'd trend towards the latter.
