Checked in this morning over at the 10Centuries site. People are starting to download their archives and in a couple of cases even manually copying over their content to a backup file. There are only a few really active users over there, all of whom have been around a long time, so this is significant.
Posted this last night on the birdsite:
Not watching you-know-what right now, not because I don't care, but because I have the horrible fear that none of it will make any difference, and I'm not sure my blood pressure can take it.
I noticed this morning when I opened the Instagram app that just about every other post was either an ad or a suggested post. This is really getting obnoxious. I know that this is probably what should be expected from something owned by Facebook, but it's still annoying.

I have a suspicion that blog posts made via email aren't getting federated. This is to test that.
This was originally posted on larryanderson.org and is being posted here as a backup.
Second update (2022-06-15): Jason has responded.
I went ahead and paid for the Pro account on write.as, so this should now be coming from blog.larand.net.
With my current blog provider having disappeared (literally—he's been missing for three days), I'm trying a new platform. I like the idea that it ties into the Fediverse.
