If you are currently on mstdn.ca, you should be moving out of your instance very very soon.

1. The Canadian instances that come to mind:
- thecanadian.social
- cosocial.ca
- Socialbc.ca
- ottawa.place2. Migration instructions: IMPORTANT: turn off approve followers while you migrate or you're going to be approving for a while.

Nothing on Mastodon since it's in front of the courts, but the current on the discord as of today is that they've been struggling to pay the bills, including shutting down some of the scaling infrastructure. For a server this size, when you run low on funds, it's time to move.

Move to where? (Any other Canadian instances, or does it matter?)
2.) How?
3.) Has mstdn.ca announced anything or responded to these threads?Former mstdn.ca here - I jumped to Cosocial because I like that it's a co-op. Very happy with it so far, it's way faster and more reliable.

@dan613
Indeed. I've donated to this server and would've done more if I'd known this was the barrier to continuation.@mayintoronto @JonChevreau @zazzoo @NMBA @crabbypup @R0bins0n @dbattistella @daraghhayes @teledyn @controlc @thenarwhal @c_9 @Babcia54 @ChristineMalec @mustard @thetyee @avilewis @rudy @rexbron @idoclosecuts @angela_underscore @arthurgron @wwwilson @_daisy @philmoscovitch @lowies @CivicTechTO @garrattguy @narada @andykm @IrisinHalifax

@stephanie @mayintoronto But do you all float down there?
@zazzoo @stephanie @mayintoronto So far Ottawa.place hasn’t accepted donations, which continues to worry me (but I think our numbers are still small). Cosocial requires a subscription membership, which gives me more confidence they will last a long time. Both seem professionally run, though, whereas mstdn.ca had significant growing pains. It started as a hobby for the admin, not with growth in mind.

@dan613 @zazzoo @mayintoronto Andrew and Leigh have just been waiting to open a bank account for the instance, and run it entirely non profit before accepting donations. It should happen! They're very comfortable running it themselves in the meantime

@controlc @argv_minus_one @CleoQc @jerome @bds @mayintoronto People are just stating facts (he has been accused of a crime, there are risks involved with relying on an instance that is hosted by someone who is being investigated)
No one is saying he is guilty, just that relying on this instance comes with a risk@renata @controlc @argv_minus_one @CleoQc @jerome @bds @mayintoronto Is there any actual evidence that Chad has been charged with a crime? So far, all I’ve seen a civil case against him.

@david @renata @argv_minus_one @CleoQc @jerome @bds @mayintoronto i thought so too but couldn't find the story.
