- CodesInChaos 3y agoSounds like this is only about public information (username, posts/comments, media). I'd expect those to be scraped and archived somewhere regardless of what the first party server does. For example in the case of reddit pushshift collected that information and published it via torrents and sites like unddit showed it.
- croutonwagon 3y agoI setup an account a few days ago. Make sure you use a bigger one I guess. The instance i chose wasnt one of the major ones, but did have traffic. Its now down...not showing on the trackers either. I am guessing its gone....dunno. Maybe it just crashed and whoever runs it hasnt fixed it or realized. Similar to why i run my own email domain (but use workspace), i considered building an instance. But have had some reservations that I talked about here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36237285#36241849 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36237285#36241849 If anything im more on the fence than ever.
