Disappointed mostly. I get that site is probably a lot of thankless work and I see how much news posts and whatnot Kapow puts effort into finding and posting even besides all the server admin and update stuff. So I get it and can’t say I wouldn’t make the same call in his place.
At the same time, I think Idgaf about any other lemmy instances really since I really have been spoiled here and going back to leftist censorship sites doesn’t remotely interest me.
Am on nostr and will give it a chance but already there are some major issues that frustrate me with it. I don’t see those getting fixed anytime soon and suspect I will probably eventually either start drifting around again or maybe spend more time offline on self improvement (diet/exercise, learning career stuff, learning survival skills, etc)
Ok, fair enough . But I’m not really sure where you’re going with this.
Do you mean just be extra extra careful about screen names/personal info and avoid getting doxxed? That we can still always find our old posts on other instances? something else?
well the other donky user pointed out that images wont carry over I guess, but text does I think and if pics are hosted by a third party they can be retrieved from there and will show up if the third party is still ok
Ah ok, so just meant not everything disappear when server goes offline. Yeah, there are a few things I probably still want but I also use the SingleFile browser addon (ff: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/single-file/ but they make for chrome also) to save important stuff like guides or instructions

so, something to think about, a lot of instances have made backups of our stuff up to the point of defederation I think?

The images are not being federated. Only the posts.
got it - images will come through if hosted by a third party however (like catbox moe)
Yes
