   Baest will be shutting down on November 8th.
   
   Why? A few reasons.
   
   1. This is getting expensive and time consuming to run.
   
   2. God has other plans for me and trying to continue running all of this would hold me back.
   
   3. I want to spend less time on the internet.
   
   4. I'm a very different person and in a much different situation from when I started.
   
   
   One of the main reasons I started running a fedi instance was I had a bunch of free time because I couldn't work.
   
   I've had a great time and met lots of wonderful people.
   
   Honestly, if it weren't for fedi I'm not sure where my life would be but probably somewhere very different and not as good. I know I wouldn't be able to give Cornbread a home.
   
   I want to thank everyone for hanging in here with me all this time. I'm sorry I'm shutting it down. This isn't an easy decision to make and I do feel guilty about it.
   
   Don't worry, I'm not leaving fedi and I really hope this doesn't cause any Baest users to leave fedi. I just have more important things I need to focus my time and money on. I'm at least going to make it through the election, though.
   
   Thank you for letting me be a part of all of this for all of these years. I am extremely thankful.

     @j Sad to hear this. I was getting started on this fediverse thing and it was a very great experience. A lot of nice people to talk with... And now, seeing it go...
     Wish you the best, j. It was nice being here and I really loved this experience. Can't be thankful enough for all your work :Salute:

     Seconded.

     Peer-to-peer fedi, ActivityPub bridge, will be compatible with PleromaFE, not done yet but I'm currently importing FSE's half-TB (trimmed considerably) and
     
     > will baest continue to work and i'll be able to login?
     
     Yeah; I expect it'll be ready, the bugs definitely won't be worked out yet, see elsewhere in the thread there are invitations to instances, and FSE and Poast are both relaxing the (temporarily; in FSE's case until Revolver ships and in Poast's, until the election) closed registrations to let in refugees. (I'll be making a bot.) annihilation.social and ryona.agency are also open. Never hurts to have a Plan B, you should have an alt.
     
     There are things that will not work. DMs and private posts will not survive the import: you cannot store something in a distributed manner and still keep it a secret. So I'm not importing them; that would be a rug-pull, they were put onto these servers with the understanding that only intended recipients would get them and DMs won't be able to cross the AP bridge to or from Revolver (at least initially; it's not hard to imagine an E2EE scheme that would be amenable to both Revolver and Pleroma). Chats will not work; there's currently no plan to make them work.
     
     Plenty of things will be better too (if it was just missing features, then it wouldn't be worth doing): after the full release, you'll be able to run your node and send your posts without connecting directly to bae.st, so server downtime will be hard to even notice and dead servers are no longer a catastrophe: you don't lose your posts or your identity or your uploads. Also no more upload limits. No admins, and fedi becomes unkillable. It is also faster.

     regarding revolver, can you explain what it is and how it works? @p
     will baest continue to work and i'll be able to login? or will it just keep what i've posted accessible? there are some posts i'd like to see stay up and protected from memory holing and some posts i'd rather remove for opsec reasons

     Well I totally missed this until now. I do have an alt on your instance, but obviously don't use it very much.
     
     Thank you for your service fren! You are the chilist of admins. I commend you for trying to get away from the terrible curse that is the Interwebs. God speed you one armed anime loving bastard! :blobcatsalute:
