This is a new town and we're all still deciding where the houses and streets should go.
What you're saying seems to be, "If this particular street doesn't happen, does that mean the whole town is just chaos and nonsense and we should all run off elsewhere?"
No, it doesn't. It doesn't even mean anyone else has to tear their house down and flounder in the dirt waiting for consensus.
It just means the people involved renegotiate things and figure something else out.
I don't think that's what OP is asking, I feel like it's more of a straightforward technical question. As in, if an instance is killed, what happens to the data "owned" by that instance?
Edit: Specifically, the users tied to that instance
Yeah, that makes sense. I think I responded to "if the worst happens" as some kind of Terrible Doom.
If you don't wanna lose data, just back it up.
If you're very attached to the specific affiliations you see forming here this week, you're gonna get wrecked; this is all experimental and everything should be in flux.
If you wanna know what's going to happen with this whole general swath of Internet ... nobody knows yet, keep working on making your bit of it better.
Well the host of that instance would still have the data but most of the time I'm sure they'd just delete it to save space so posts and accounts would be gone forever
