Hi everyone. Obligatory I’m enjoying my time here.
Looking at some other discussions about Reddit and what happens to the trove of knowledge when/if it all disappears.
My main question is, if, for example, beehaw decided it wasn’t worth it to keep going and shut their server down, is that the end of just their “subs” or do all of their users and their comments disappear across the whole fediverse?
Yeah, that makes sense. I think I responded to “if the worst happens” as some kind of Terrible Doom.
If you don’t wanna lose data, just back it up.
If you’re very attached to the specific affiliations you see forming here this week, you’re gonna get wrecked; this is all experimental and everything should be in flux.
If you wanna know what’s going to happen with this whole general swath of Internet … nobody knows yet, keep working on making your bit of it better.
