I saw this comment earlier today regarding Fosstodon's announcement of defederation from mastodon.cloud.
"I'll move, but I don't see much evidence that this is really necessary. I'm doubtful that many/any instances are going to follow you."
I don't want this to be a post about the person who made the comment, so I'm not linking.
I am curious, how many instances have taken action against mastodon.cloud? Limits or blocks? I know Fosstodon isn't the first, and probably won't be the last.
