The mastodon.cloud server is no longer maintained and has become a hub for spam and abuse due to its outdated software and lack of active moderation.

Are any of my followers on the mastodon.cloud server? You should think about migrating away. There's a growing discussion that some servers are going to defederate (disconnect) from the server. This means that servers will not process any posts from mastodon.cloud. Why? mastodon.cloud is not maintained. The server software is very outdated and contains security vulnerability. Also, there is no active moderation, resulting in abusive content and new accounts being created for spam. I read that there have been many attempts to contact the admin team but no response for a few years! #defederate #mastodoncloud

mastodon.cloud has been abandoned by its maintainers for some time, and is unfortunately became a please for scammers and spammers. Edmontonian Social will block (defederate) mastodon.cloud some time next week. If you are still on Mastodon.Cloud and a human, export your data, and migrate your account today. If you can't decide which instance to migrate to, search for a regional instance in your city, province, state, country etc. Mastodon's guide to moving accounts from one server ro another: https://docs.joinmastodon.org/user/moving/ Mastodon Cloud has not been updated for so long that parts of it no longer work, such as reporting scam posts. #Abandoned #Mastodon #MigrateNow #MastodonCloud

Reminder that if you’re using mastodon.cloud as your mastodon server. Might be worth moving from it. Several mastodon servers will be blocking that server due to its inactive admin, out of date software and lack of moderation.
