I need to watch more anime to educate myself with my own culture. I always feel terrible not being able to talk about anime after introducing myself as a Japanese because I feel like I'm not living up to the "be the Japanese otaku western weebs expects you to be" line by not being cultured enough.

Each time I try and persevere. I will always fight to keep baraag alive for as long as I can still find a way to do it. Thank you to everyone that continues to support this community despite this setback.
In the nearly 8 years of our existence, baraag has now experienced almost every point of failure conceivable. We have been banned from being funded by popular patronage platforms. We have had a server host provider suspend their service with us. We have had a registrar seize our baraag.net domain name. We have lost our DNS service provider and CDN service provider. Our object storage service provider for media was terminated. And finally, our automated backup system failed.
We were able to restore a fraction of the lost media thanks to the assistance of another Mastodon server admin who kindly provided a partial cache of baraag's data since August 2024. But while we tried to recover what we could, we regret to inform our users that there are still significant gaps in the affected time period that will be missing forever. We suspect that baraag users with very few followers will be the most affected by data loss.
