I’m just curious, since I tend to get attached to my accounts but I also like having access to all information so I don’t want to use a defederated instance. If, say, kbin got overrun by bad actors and was defederated by everyone else, is the only option to jump ship? Unfortunately I don’t have the capability to selfhost or I would to avoid such problems.

What are your contingency plans if such a thing occurs?

    I currently have accounts with four different instances, and I expect to have more. I jump between them as the mood hits me.

    I presume that if one of them is defederated by another instance, that will just figure in to whether or not I’m in the mood to spend time there at a given moment. And if one of them turns toxic enough to drive me away… it’ll drive me away.

    I don’t think any of it’s worth worrying about. The whole fediverse thing seems to be very fluid, and I count that as a good thing.
