We do not want to risk any exploits with those vulnerabilities that may affect our users.<br/><br/>An instance that is unmoderated and insecure poses a risk to other servers it federates with.

With the server still in open registration, this allows more bad actors to create accounts without moderation and affect the experience of federated servers.<blockquote class="border-l-05rem border-l-strongpink border-solid"><div class="-ml-4 bg-gradient-to-r from-gray-100 dark:from-zinc-800 to-transparent mr-0 mt-0 mb-4 pl-4 pr-2 py-2">quoting <br/><span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Article"><a itemprop="url" href="/note163c6qvdtf6aze5vu3y2kj3j9xgzdd27zqg9xvpqlw3ymlz3sxcgq9pj9lh" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1">note163c…j9lh</a></span><br/> </div> Hi all, we've made the decision to defederate with mastodon.cloud, due to the unfortunate neglect of the server.
