A few months ago, FT Alphaville thought it might be fun to host a Mastodon server. Boy, were we wrong!It is therefore with relief and regret that we announce the shutdown of Alphaville.club, this blog’s completely unofficial home on the Fediverse. Our reasons are listed below in full but, to summarise, Mastodon has proved more hassle than it’s worth.If you signed up via Alphaville.club then moving to an extant server should be straightforward. We intend to give everyone three months to vacate (as the Mastodon Server Covenant suggests) though if traffic drops to zero we reserve the right pull the plug earlier.
