minus-square@CliveRosfield@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish2•2 years agoAh… dope. So it’s currently just running through donations I presume. Another dumb question: If an instance owner goes rogue and just nukes it are your posts gone too or is it archived somewhere?
minus-square@Phileosopher@programming.devBlinkfedilinkEnglish1•2 years agoTechnically, anything can be scraped (e.g. Internet Archive), but that doesn’t mean it’s interactive. I’d say the volatility of computer data means someone could theoretically nuke it whenever they want, though there may be remnants on other instances. I’m curious enough to enforce Cunningham’s Law: It’s not on blockchain, so it’s deleted if the instance is deleted.
