Sad for all those accounts on #MedMastodon after the server disappeared. I hope this make it even more clear that #mastodon needs way to let users own the data and allow it to be easily ported between servers.
People don't feel safe on small servers or often don't understand how easily it can disappear.

in reply to Stefan • • •so, like I said, having someone you don't know, with whom you have no connection, run your server, means you don't have much recourse if they decide to shut down.
Having a server run by your employer, your university, a membership organization, your city, or a SaaS provider means you've got some idea that it's going to be there next week.
We have a system of low affinity between server operators and users.

in reply to Evan Prodromou • • •@evan I could also imagine a 3rd party that gave servers a resilience rating of some kind. Not an absolute fix but frame work to talk about level of commitment. The Server Covenant is a great start but not well monitored.

In the future, it will be appropriate for doctors to rely on referenced instances or to commit to having themselves or their organizations create their own instances.
