But what could happen is that your instance get destroyed.
I can trust Twitter to have backups. I know almost nothing about the community-served Mastodon instance on which I created an account, and I'm kinda locked there.
- yogthos 6y agoIt depends on the instance. Larger instances do have backups, and they have operational funding. There is also a history of these instances operating for years without issues. Mastodon also makes it very easy to extract your data. Finally, you can always run your own instance if you wanted to and have full control over it.
- riffic 6y agoHow about this? "I can trust Gmail to have backups. I know almost nothing about the corporate-provided mail service on which my administrator created my account, and I'm kinda locked there."
