Anyone familiar with how Mastodon works? What happens if whoever runs the instance I'm on decides to shut it down?

Wow, registration on Mastodon looks to be really exploding. The server instance I signed up for tonight (mastodon.cloud) is no longer accepting new registrations. This page provides a realtime list of Mastodon instances with status updates: instances.mastodon.xyz/

, huh?

I'm a 49 yo stay at home dad for my 20 something autistic son. I live full time in an RV in Las Vegas and in my life I've been a soldier, a spy, a nurse, an operating engineer and water treatment salesman. I drink bourbon, smoke cigars and run 15-20 miles/week. I will occasionally write jokes which has, thus far, not landed me any writing gigs. I've been on Twitter longer than most everybody else. This fall I'm going back to school.

Blew past the 500 character limit for the first time. That didn't take long.

So I don't know anyone, don't really understand what I'm doing and couldn't tell you what I'm hoping to accomplish. Oh, and no one is paying attention. So, basically, it's Twitter, ten years ago all over again. Whee!
