Absolutely HORRIBLE NEWS! Valnet is such a piece of shit company. They ruin everything they get their hands on, not to mention all of the shady legal stuff they are and have been doing.

I honestly don't know why companies like this sell out to such shitty companies.

It's nice to finally see @kev and @mike make statements about the drama that happened on #Fosstodon however, the sad part is to see that they are both likely stepping away. They will either shut the instance down completely or possibly let others take it over to keep it alive.

Regardless, there will be a lot of people that will end up needing/wanting to find a new instance to call home, and that's not a fun experience here on the #Fediverse

With regards to them both stepping away, regardless of how it's done, I get it, totally.

I ran #AllThingsTech along with @beardedtechguy and while it was a ton of fun at times, it was indeed a LOT of work, and it was quite costly, even as a small server with only a couple hundred users. I can't imagine the work and the costs associated with a server that has nearly 10,000 users and is almost 8 years old.

I certainly wish Kevin and Mike both the best of luck in whatever decision they make and I hope all of those that decide to move to another instance or may end up being forced to move to another instance are able to move without much hassle or issues. This is definitely one place Mastodon needs to get much better at if it ever wants to be mainstream and truly successful in a larger fashion.

For anyone who wants to read those statements I mentioned in the beginning, you can do so via the links below.
