@rolle That's true indeed! That's why all instances listed on JoinMastodon (also mstdn.social) have a policy that IF they will ever be shutting down it will be announces at least 3 months in front so people can find a new home and migrate etc! So you are safe here ❤️ I'll give my liver to keep this place running

@stux Good to know 👍 I just noticed this instance is a one-person show so kinda worried all my toots are now in one basket. Tired of instance -hopping and I like this because the server handle is kinda close the biggest one where my official account handle is unfortunately taken.Glad to be here. If I ever get more into Mastodon I might even contribute. Keep up the good work.

@stux @rolle What happens if an instance is temporarily down, does it mean users of that instance miss out on anything people you are following post or does it catch up when it comes back online

@rolle @dragon As soon as the server gets back up it will start pulling in 'missed' posts 😉 So nothing gets lost! That's the beauty of Federation! If one node goes down for a bit others can inform it later when its back

@stux Out of curiosity (as a dedicated server/hosting guy), what kind of servers you got? @dragon

@rolle @dragon Currently I got 20 or so :blobcatgiggle: they all vary in sizes! All remote btw! A little while back i shut down my home server since it's scary with the mega high energy costs

@stux Heyy, samies! I got home server for over 15 years, but I had to shut it down lately due to energy crisis. Moved all the stuff to remote virtual servers. More energy efficient this way. No fun fiddling with hardware though... Thankfully gigabyte speeds are quite the standard nowadays in Europe so there's really no difference latency wise. @dragon
