I can't thank @[email protected] and @[email protected] enough for all they have done to foster social media communities outside of big tech. Everything that has happened as a result of their work -- and all the projects and communities that have sprung up since then -- gives me a lot of hope.

Does anyone happen to know whether the old data of #identica users that weren't migrated over when it switched from #StatusNet to #pumpio has been archived anywhere? I see a mention that there was a plan to upload it to @internetarchive, but can't find anything more than that. #fediverse #ostatus
