@feditips@mstdn.social That's a change that must be reversed. We need the strength of diversity. (Yes, I'm on mastodon.social, but I joined when it was smallish.)

@jeena@toot.jeena.net @feditips@mstdn.social I don't think it's necessary. I think the point is closer to: don't make ANY instance the default for all new accounts, especially not the biggest existing one

@Sean@liberal.city @bigTanuki@social.linux.pizza @feditips@mstdn.social slightly raised eyebrow on first read ... read on ... several other unrelated comments that add to the conversation ... conclusion: gentle piss-take ... which is welcome. We're often far too earnest on here

@elliot@social.lgm.ltd True (mastodon.social was my third instance), but experience of human nature suggests a significant number - even a majority - won't move on. The bigger this one gets, the more it feels like CSM, and a lot of new arrivals are just looking for a new Twitter.

@alexjsp@mastodon.social It's unlikely to be a direct hack of your account. More likely to be either a "tame" IG employee working with those who sell "desirable" handles, or some social engineering - and involving SIM swaps - that gains them access to admin privileges such as changing email and passwords. (I did a long-term investigation of influencers and platform manipulation, particularly on Twitter but also Insta, and spoke to a lot of people about their methods.)
