Stackoverflow too but that only applies to nerds haha

    But all the data is on IA’s servers. In the event their servers go down for good, that’s it. There’s no way to self host parts of the Archive fediverse style.

      That’s true, but organising and managing such a distributed form of IA would probably be a nightmare of a job. I’ve seen many people suggest that to IA, but they seem to be very very reluctant about the idea.
