Just saw this scrolling through Facebook. I don't know anything about the matter, but my point remains valid: using other people's platforms does not and never will guarantee the safety of your data.

#OwnYourData

A screenshot of a Facebook post from "Linux Fans" stating that their "Linux Fans Group" with over 350,000 members was deleted without warning. The post emphasizes that the group was heavily moderated, with all content reviewed and rule-breaking material immediately removed. It also mentions that there was no appeal or option to request a review, and ends with a plea for help, tagging "Meta Meta Newsroom Facebook," "@followers," and "@topfans."

@stefanoStefano Marinelli @_elenaElena Rossini ⁂ A really decent, performant #OpenSource forum software such as #Flarum, #PhpBB, or #Discourse, is right there. Do any of your 350k subscribers have a #RaspberryPi 5 lying around (wth an NVME drive), and have expertise? Flarum or PhpBB would run performantly on it for a huge number of concurrent users. Where is your #OpenSource spirit, to take things into your own hands?
