Since this is tagged on lemmy.zip I’d like to point out that it might not be the best idea for existing lemmy.zip users to also use piefed.zip since if the admin(s) are no longer able to continue both of your presences would go down. In the true spirit of the fediverse it makes sense to spread your logins around.

On the other hand, dot zip admins are known to be chill and not likely to cause a defederation.

Oh, yeah, this is not a knock against the admins at all. The .zip team might have an amazing set of contingency plans, etc - I have no idea - which would make this more or less a moot point. I’m just not a fan of single points of failure.

At the very least, backups have been fire-tested. We were back up and running within a day when one of the recent upgrades went all to shit.
I have a non-zip alt that sits idle and hopefully will stay idle :)
