  Thanks for choosing this instance! Sorry about the abrupt closing announcement, but I guess on the bright side a nickname refresh isn’t that bad 😅

    Will my account and all it’s comments/posts disappear? Or will users and the instance just stop working?

      So the initial plan was just to take down the server and leave comments/etc up on other instances. Your account would effectively become frozen when viewed from other instances.

      I didn’t want to make an announcement yet since I haven’t gotten a script ready, but I’m intending on running a script to at least purge my user account contents and give a week or so for the deletes to federate.

      If I get it working this weekend, I was planning on offering to help purge data from people who were privacy conscious.
