    After a month and a half downtime all the users will have moved on to other instances. This is essentially a death sentence for the instance and its communities.

      Idk, quite a few (me included) made alt accounts for the time being, and we’ll return when it becomes possible, especially if we really do migrate to piefed.

      Lets see. I think a relaunch on Piefed might interest some people to come back, and most slrpnk communities are rather niche and will probably stay. /c/climate might move though.

      I dont think it will be. I’ve had two accounts for a while to deal with unexpected issues & will happily return to my slrpnk account once it’s back up and running :)

      Plus for the communities, people who were subscribed to them before will likely stay subscribed & once the instance is back up the posts will be in their feeds without an issue.

      Being able to accommodate issues like this is one of the major upsides to a decentralized platform.
