    Isn’t that exactly why you pick up your account and move servers?

    Again, they were also running a server we could join - I don’t know why they thought they had the resources to handle that.

      We’re not talking about individual people, but whole corporations and organizations.

      For example. Instance.social is shutting down. Now the whole Org needs to migrate 150 accounts to someplace else. Oh and the old posts are being deleted, can’t migrate those.

      And the support community you created on there, is going away also. Again, can’t really migrate all the old posts and comments. But the FAQ documentation we put there when people asked about it, can be manually copied to the new place. So that’s something

      That’s not a situation any company would want to be in. Better to have their own social home, that they control.
