To avoid a similar situation in the future, Mastodon is a good choice. They can migrate their account if an instance goes wrong.

Others are more centralized if not totally centralized. It will repeat sooner or later on them.

If you’re still on Twitter, you’re part of the problem.

I left months ago and have been doing my science communication on Mastodon since then. Sure, it sucks having to start over on a new platform, but I had already been doing that since leaving Facebook anyways.
