Someone in a friend group I'm in was complaining that the mastodon instance they are part of was shutting down because the admins just didn't feel like running it any further. He was distressed because we won't be able to easily export all of his posts. Meanwhile, I'm just disenfranchised because it's the third instance this year to have that same fate.

If I ever create a mastodon it'll just be me, on my own VM.
