If you or someone you know has an account on mastodon.cloud, I would highly recommend migrating to a new server. Lots of instances are in the process of completely blocking mastodon.cloud which will sever all connections for people on mastodon.cloud. Mastodon.cloud is effectively abandoned, running very old and out of date software with minimal moderation resulting in a good deal of moderation work for those of us running other instances.
I am posting this in hopes that some people on mastodon.cloud see it and decide to take action.

Analysis Summary
A security researcher on Mastodon is warning users that mastodon.cloud, the largest public Mastodon server, is being blocked by other instances due to outdated software and minimal moderation. The post itself is unverifiable through independent reporting — no news coverage of this specific blocking campaign was found, though Mastodon infrastructure disputes are plausible given how federated networks operate. The account has solid credibility in infosec circles, but the core claims about mastodon.cloud's technical state and the scope of instance-level blocking remain single-sourced.
Claims Analysis (3)
“Lots of instances are in the process of completely blocking mastodon.cloud”
No independent corroboration found. Claim is specific but single-sourced from account.
“mastodon.cloud is effectively abandoned, running very old and out of date software”
Cannot verify software version or maintenance status independently. Describes operational state.
“minimal moderation resulting in a good deal of moderation work for those of us running other instances”
Characterization of moderation burden on other administrators is subjective assessment, not verifiable fact.
