Absolutely, that's why I've put "moved" in quotation marks.
Obviously doing so currently requires a hard switch from one GNU social instance to another; we simply left a note on our old account where people can find us now. This isn't perfect (esp. for someone who cases about keeping their followers) but I think it's the only option with the recent version of GNU social, though it should be technically possible to forward our old account URL to the new one if we only had access to the old GNU social instance.

In retrospective we should have set up our own instance from the start, it takes only 30 minutes.

Both websites have a terrible uptime. That's why we wrote an old-school, physical letter to them since we also weren't able to reach them by any other means of communication. What's a bit odd is that they say on their website that they're "solely funded by donations" but don't accept help, which I've offered on two occasions.
