Oh that was interesting. I pressed reload plugins and Friendica immediately stopped working, giving out no hint but server 500 errors.
Turned out that piwik plugin crashed on some random error (Uncaught Exception TypeError: "Argument 2 passed to piwik_analytics() must be of the type array, string given), but it suggests that somehow plugins were not used at all for a long time now. ?
I usually think php stuff as "immediately effective" since it always reloads and reparses everything. That was a refreshing blow not to trust even this. -

@evan I'd like to slightly disagree for multiple reasons.
- New servers will be empty: no local and federated content, only follows. Even non-followed responses will be missing.
- A closed server for one or few people is a waste of resources.
- Running an open server definitely requires dedication and care, especially ensuring that it will run for extended periods of time, since it's not nice when your users observe that the server is no more.
I would advise people to pick smaller but stable (running for months or years) instances rather than starting their own. They can still migrate to their own later if the need arise.
