I’m just curious, since I tend to get attached to my accounts but I also like having access to all information so I don’t want to use a defederated instance. If, say, kbin got overrun by bad actors and was defederated by everyone else, is the only option to jump ship? Unfortunately I don’t have the capability to selfhost or I would to avoid such problems.
What are your contingency plans if such a thing occurs?
Same. The beauty of the internet is the freedom of movement. You can have one account or many accounts across the internet, and it doesn’t matter. You can go where you’re treated best without tolerating the bullshit of a platform or instance if it does not suit you. Speaking of news, RSS feeds have been my greatest ally in sourcing decentralized information that I choose.
