wow the peertube instance I had an account on and had used a bunch over the last few years is seemingly gone without any notice. it was at betamax.video and was managed by @debugninja@banana.dog (also an instance thats gone now?) did they ragequit or something?

the importance of picking a server whos admin you trust is really an underrated aspect of the fediverse we need to work on... I mostly chose it for the cool domain name and the custom theme...

@liaizon I had the same with peertu.be on which I started putting some videos for work, and which eventually vanished also without a warning (or i missed it, i don't know)

@yhancik this is something we really need to expect to happen and build some sort of mechanism to make sure people have some warning at least

Nomadic identity. It's not just a good idea. It's a bloody great idea.

@Moon Hubzilla comes to mind. You can create clones of your channel on other hosts by connecting directly with username/pw (if the original hub is still online) or a backup file (for extra security, or if the original hub is gone).
