Today, @jorijn and @ruud had a session where the handover of toot.community to the Fedihosting Foundation took place.
This foundation is a non-profit setup by @ruud and @stux which owns many fediverse platforms like mstdn.social, mastodon.world, lemmy.world and others.
For the users, nothing will change. Just keep tooting as you did before. Any questions can be addressed to this account, or mailed to support@toot.community.
- Ruud
@support Questions:
Will the actual servers change and if so, is the infrastructure still decentralized? Practically speaking, if lemmy.world has an outage, is this instance down, too?
Will the foundation also manage the toot.community Patreon page?
Best of luck to @jorijn in your personal life, and best of luck to @ruud @stux in your engagement for the instance and fedi! (I hope this sentence makes sense, not a native English speaker)
@prinzessinnen_und_raben Thanks for reaching out!
We will move to new servers, but that’s because we want the setup to be the same as the other instances, to simplify management.
It won’t be the same servers as lemmy.world , so normally they shouldn’t impact eachother. It will be in the same Hetzner account as all other instances (currently toot is also running in Hetzner).
The Patreon and Ko-fi have also been handed over to us.
@ruud Thanks for your answer! That's good to know.
