Rules:

  1. Be civil and nice.
  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.

As it should be, no single point of failure.

While this is true, if anyone uses a Lemmy instance that eventually goes away, it is likely they will have lost their post history forever. That kind of thing is pretty annoying. I get that their comments would still be out there, but it's still not ideal.

Indeed. Export and migration are still something pending for Lemmy, as is GDPR compliance (export, rectification, erasure of data).

Yeah, to me that's crazy that they have two full time devs working on it, and it's been around for two years, yet it's not GDPR compliant yet.

As compared to the single giant who can nuke your content at will to save storage or be more advertiser friendly. It's the same problem, but everything around it improved.
