This site, Mastodon.cloud, is not secure. It has been abandoned and is currently running outdated software with a known security vulnerability. Please migrate to an alternative site.

Mastodon.cloud is also being de-federated, meaning it is being disconnected from the rest of the Fediverse. In the future, other Mastodon and Misskey sites will no longer communicate with Mastodon.cloud.

Details concerning this version of Mastodon 4.1.25.

@warning How does this work, will other platforms auto reject if a version is too old?

@Blu2 @warning In theory no, only if something is changed in the code that breaks it

But in general we block domains/instances if they are too much of a risk and .cloud has been the target of spam attacks but they don't take action

Nah, I think masto.ai is way better than mere mstdn.social. After all, it’s in the Anguilla domain, and that sounds like Anguirus!

@stux @mastodonmigration @warning I tried to join, but can’t because of HCaptcha. I set the accessibility cookie and that didn’t work so I sent an email and never got a response so I guess I’ll try somewhere else.

@stux @warning I always felt, federated platforms like Mastodon need to offer some features, that allows people to support it, like "upgraded" accounts with special instance emojis or something

^ This post serves as proof that Mastodon.cloud has indeed been abandoned. Many people have tried to reach the administrator, but there has been no response. The administrator has not posted since February 2023, three years ago. The site has not been updated since April 2025, one year ago.

You can call the administrator a jackass, and they will do nothing about it, because they are not here. This is what all the fuss has been about. It has become lawless and anyone still on the site should leave.

> " Who is paying for the servers ? "

I believe it was @[email protected] who said some corporation owns the site. That would most likely mean it is setup for automatic payments and hosted on whatever other digital infrastructure they have setup.

It was more of a rhetorical question. Why are they paying for something but otherwise totally ignoring it. Is that what they cal prvate sector efficiency.
