It might still remain in the cache of another instance, but there is really no permanence build into the Fediverse. If an instance goes down, its content and user accounts go down too. There is no quick&easy way to migrate content to another host. There are no crypt-ids (e.g. PGP keys), everything is refered to as user@host, even message-ids aren't even globally unique, e.g. these two refer to the same post: * https://beehaw.org/post/598023 https://beehaw.org/post/598023 * https://feddit.de/post/881008 https://feddit.de/post/881008 Fediverse still has a lot of work to, right now it feels more like a quick hack than something that could significantly improve the Internet in the long run. If an instance goes malicious, you have all the same problems as you'd have with an unfederated server, after all federation is completely optional in the Fediverse.
