There are a ton of Lemmy instances that all communicate with each other and each instance is ran on hardware by different owners. So if one instance goes to shit your account will still work on all the other ones.
Ah... dope. So it's currently just running through donations I presume. Another dumb question: If an instance owner goes rogue and just nukes it are your posts gone too or is it archived somewhere?
I believe your posts on that one instance will be gone but I'm actually unsure. Still learning about it myself
I think so too, a good feature for the future would be redundancy and third party backups, so people can be held accountable. Or you could back up an instance in your own machine if you want. I thinl this kind of stuff will be developed in time.
