I’ve created code in the past 60 days to rewrite replication, migrate data from lost instances like vlemmy, and other things but the server crashes have had me lose faith in a lot of the work I did. it has been nice to see others make good progress with front-ends.

it’s an interesting article and beehaw’s discussion on it really has some good comments. https://beehaw.org/post/6873241

I also sense a lot of people’s disappointment of what Reddit became and the loss of a lot of good historical discussions. One thing I liked doing on Reddit was reading past discussions, years back, about films and such. And now it invokes a lot of emotions about how big companies and society general keeps trending towards self-destruction of good content. And seeing instances go down like vlemmy - makes it clear that the same can happen here. The crashes are a reminder too.
