During the Reddit migration, I made 2 accounts for myself. This account for research and one for actually being active on lemmy. My other account was on dataterm.digital and I really liked it there! But now it’s gone. Does anyone know what became of them? Apparently they had/have Mastadon, but I’ve never used it before and can’t seem to find it. I’d just really like to know if it’s coming back, or if it’s down for good and I need another account because I can’t keep walking around here like this.

    I haven’t heard of it but it’s always sad when an instance goes down. The same happened to vlemmy, it just went down without any explanation or warning. Maybe the admin didn’t have the time or resources to keep it running.

      That’s where I started. Last I remember an admin brought up a server that had questionable content (can’t remember what kind) and said they didn’t want to defederate on principle but their servers were in Ireland and therefore subject to Irish law so their hands were tied.

      Soon after, it was gone. I thought it was an outage but it just never came back, and Googling to find out more didn’t turn up anything useful. It was like I had met a ghost, so I’m always happy when people bring it up.
