I also don't think they're going anywhere, since SDF has been around continuously since the 80s (literally started as an anime BBS) and still runs a lot of services that would seem unusual to care about these days (including having a gopher server), so I figure their Lemmy, Mastodon, Pixelfed, Matrix, etc instances aren't going anywhere.

It would but then that bath water comes with the baby.

I can get people talking about piracy but it comes with Russian propaganda, Hitler love, fat shaming and homophobia.

It would be kind of cool to have a client where your communities come from specific instances where you want them. If an instance goes down have it pick a backup instance and pull the community from there. Of course it would require separate accounts in separate communities with separate subs on each instance, making each user weigh many times there normal cost for lemmy operation.

There's always self-hosting, but it has its own discovery pitfalls. When you'd like a pie hole and public rated block lists where you can tell it what you do and don't want to see

Sh.itjust.works seems to be an instance that is pretty good about being chill with stuff while also blocking the really bad instances,it's also super stable. They've had 2? Outages maybe 3, compared to lemmy.world's endless ones.

I was trying to make an account there yesterday and it was down all day. Was it down for you yesterday or am I doing something wrong?

[–] candyman337@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

It was down for a few hours yesterday I think, that was the third outage it's had like ever as far as I've seen
