The continuing adventures of the semi-offline Fluff

[lilfluff]

So both Ping (The Planet) and Beam (The Planet) are still down due to expired domain and I hadn't yet made a backup account (I suppose my Mastodon Social account is likely still there but I haven't signed into it for years at this point). There's the undead zombie that used to be the popular, what's the term,¿short form social media?, site but is prefer not to be bit by zombies. I hadn't noticed how much I tended to pop onto Ping to make a short comment or quote a few lines I liked from a story, or just to check to see if anything interesting has been posted.

Anyway, this has been some lunchtime thoughts.

It occurs to me that they might still be reachable via their IP addresses if it's just expired domain names, though there's no guarantee that their hosting is still up.

Unfortunately I'm not sure what IP address was being used (and at a quick glance I'm not sure if there's anywhere that would be logged on my computer).

What the heck, signed back into mastodon.social for now. (Which either had no inactive account purging policy or an extremely generous one because my last post there was seven years ago)

Yeah, I finally deleted my account on the zombie site during the "you officially give use permission to AI your content" change to the TOS.
