First of all, I love you, slrpnk admins. You handled it all like champions! Happy to have you back.
Someone said in one one of the matrix chats during the outage that the fact that this instance is selfhosted and went down is like true experience of a solarpunk world; there won’t always be power and that’s okay!
Just wanted to write it down in a post since that message was so spot on.
Downtime by a freedom-respecting trully decentralised node like slrpnk.net really exposes how Lemmy clients leave a LOT to be desired.
The prospect of data loss is gutting. A proper client would be syncing threads of interest between the server and my PC, so during downtime I can still at least locally access past content. No proper clients exist for Lemmy.
