Something I still don't understand about the fediverse: how does it handle backups?
UserA@SquidgeY posts Spiderman x Whatever fan-fiction, and it's accessible to UserB@SquidgeZ.
But if SquidgeY goes down, does the entire Squidgieverse just lose access to UserA's story?
If so, I don't know that I'd want a federated AO3.
I've seen dozens of instances come and go over the years, and it sucks to imagine your favorite new story disappearing because the UserA picked the wrong instance and admin Colin393 decided not renew after The Drama happened with CorkyTheMostVampire.
