  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.

  Thanks for choosing this instance! Lurking is still a completely valid usecase!

  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 😅

  First, thank you for your work for helping tackle a number of the federation issues (and other bugs!) in Lemmy! If anything, I’m more concerned about the broader Fediverse where there are people who think spreading CSAM is okay.

  I’m actually really happy to see that the image_mode lets you disable federated images, that should be a big relief to instances with fewer resources to deal with.

  Hey, thanks for being a part, even just subscribing and voting! I promise you, activity had absolutely nothing to do with this.

  There’s a lot of risk to take on by hosting images online and whatnot, and I just don’t want to personally assume the risk that entails. It’s a very large part why registration on this instance was pretty locked down from Day 1.

  I’ve made some changes related to the potential server load issue and will keep an eye on things.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This is now completed. Lemmy is now on 0.19.0. I am postponing the pictrs upgrade until a later date.

  So there were a few communities I thought (at points in time) that were a bit too-close for piracy and other rules. The only reason I’m hesitant to allow those are because I want to minimize the chances of having to deal with anything DMCA/legal.

  It is entirely possible things have changed with them since I don’t regularly go back and check. I can post a list of blocked communities for the sake of transparency this evening.

  The instance has now been migrated. I’m still validating a few remaining items but I do not anticipate any further interruptions to the instance in the next half-hour.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Momentarily I will be taking this instance offline to block federation activities while a data snapshot is created.

  During this time, DNS will redirect to the new instance, and the new instance will be available after the snapshot is restored.

  Thanks for your patience!
