  I got the Lemmy equivalent of a jump scare

    Biggest problem is an instance closes, the content on it dies as well (can’t interact with it…)

    The instance could also decide to wipe all the content that’s on it and it would replicate this mass deletion to all federated instances, making us lose all the content that’s on it. In a way it’s stil very censorable and centralized

      The content is still on other servers. The problem is that search engines don’t really understand federation so they pickup posts on particular instances which creates dead links.

        For the second case, the federated instances would also remove the content
