Just saw this scrolling through Facebook. I don't know anything about the matter, but my point remains valid: using other people's platforms does not and never will guarantee the safety of your data.

Sporadic reminder to do a #backup of your #Mastodon account (i.e. request an #archive from your instance)! Even in the Fediverse servers crash and instance admins turn rogue, and all of a sudden you may be left with nothing but the last archive.org snapshot of your account, so... request your archives, folks!

I wonder if there is an easy way to automate this. By easy I mean something that doesn’t require my own instance or installing some other container image to do the downloads for me.
