Bertrand, is that you?
No, this is Patrick
Or a whole server just vsnishes like kbin.social. Account, crested magazines, participation in the fediverse…poofed out of existence in an “instance”.
I used to be a kbin user, then I stopped cause it didn’t feel nice on mobile. I come back a few weeks ago to find it that it no longer works. Shit sucks
kbin.melroy.org is a good replacement
Had an account there, and liked it. I understand why the creator/maintainer stopped, but I would’ve liked a bit of a warning instead of just… poof. I don’t even know if I could backup and reuse my account and activity, but it sucks nonetheless.
Hi fellow kbin.earther. Yeah I hear you, there where a couple of long outages which worried me, but to be gone like that wasn’t what I expected. Anyhow, I like it on .earth.
Ah no, I’m on melroy, but I quite like both.
Ah, I see now… as I am on kbin.earth, /u/ starts with kbin.earth by default. I feel, just a little, stupid.
Have a good one, SharkAttak.
Same happened with kbin.run. Glad I set up an account on another instance before that happened.
I think, in an instant.
They generally go unmoderated until someone steps in to take over, or if the community gets abused it will be locked until someone steps in.
Largely the same as if they just disappeared and stopped logging in. The community would become abandoned and unmoderated.
Reddit had a system where you could request banned or inactive communities, Lemmy instances don’t usually have this, instead requiring you message that instance’s admins directly.
