It's fine, but I don't enjoy having to deal with federation stuff. It's doable, but it's not intuitive, and everything is a bit too disorganized.

Hoping we defederate from them proactively - I wouldn't give them any more info than they already have...

Any Beehawians (Beehawans? Cowbees?) looking for a Twitter replacement might consider Counter.Social - it has a similar vibe to Beehaw and Tildes. It is not federated but is using a lot of Mastodon code. The community sets it apart - and the owner's insistence on no ads, no algo, security, privacy, etc.

It's been around a few years and the infrastructure was upgraded with the last bit Twitter exodus, so CoSo remains stable where Bluesky and some others have been screwy. You can find me there with the same username - say hi if you pop in!
