Moving our mastodon account from fosstodon.org to social.xwiki.com

Development

Hello all,

The fosstodon.org Mastodon instance is currently hitting some community issues[1].
As a consequence, this instance it at high risk of being defederated from other instances of the Fediverse.
Meaning that our XWiki (@xwikiorg@fosstodon.org) - Fosstodon account wouldn’t be reachable for many Mastodon users.

The XWiki SAS sponsoring company is offering to host our account on social.xwiki.com
We are likely to proceed to the account migration in the following days or weeks.

Please let us know what you think.

Thanks!

Do you have any proofs for this claim? Isn’t the opposite the case, shouldn’t the ownership changes lead to federation being re-established? Do you have any information how many instances actually defederated and if this really concerns a significant number of users?

I’m also wondering if being on an instance of a company that will most likely be using this instance for advertisement without having any CoC (from what I can see) a much bigger risk of being defederated?
