@moffintosh@den.raccoon.quest @Moon@shitposter.club From what I've heard from Moon and others, it's most likely database problems. The issue of databases in Pleroma and Akkoma rotting is widespread, even to the point of becoming a meme.

It's honestly awful to see, though. I know that instance death is just what happens in internet culture (as someone who killed an instance herself). Yet, there's something intriguing about an instance that started near the beginning, especially when its community is still thriving today. They've seen when GNU Social was still prevalent or when Pleroma was still starting out. Many people haven't even experienced Fedi when Twitter was only shitty and not dying. Other instances at the time, such as https://mastodon.cloud, seem like shells of their former shelves (plus, it did you dirty), and instances like https://mastodon.social have let themselves become a Twitteroid hellscape. So, seeing an instance like that crumble apart feels like a major part of Fedi might also be gone.
