unfortunately I realized too late that I have had hundreds of saved links to posts and comments from there, so I did not have enough time to save them, but anyways it is interesting that maybe a third of the post links I could try were dead. I think linkrot is happening much faster here than on reddit, even if just counting deleted posts.

A solution to this is Nostr. One identity across the entire network.

Twitter-like Platform/client dies overnight? No problem, all data still there.

Reddit-like platform/client dies overnight? No problem, all data still there.

PC dies overnight? No problem, all data still there.

Data is sync'd across multiple relays, you can run your own, and clients are interoperable.

It's my go-to now, for everything. A person's posts, their followers/audience, chats, etc never needs to be migrated.

Media is stored using the Blossom protocol which was created for Nostr.

V4V(Value 4 Value) is also a thing, so instead of just Likes/Reactions you can tip/Zap Sats (Bitcoin over Lightning) but that's optional.

Centralised identity is something that Nostr does right. But it's got a nazi bar problem
