I thought this might be of interest to other users as well as admins.

    How can any Fediverse instance withstand that kind of force? Really the only way is to not save anything, or perhaps some sort of blockchain for all the comments and posts?

      That’s an interesting question. At the time being, I think the only way is to do regular backups and store them at a friends for example. That way an instance can be restored after the server has been taken.

      Blockchain is an interesting thought - or maybe something similar to Matrix. All instances have their own copy of a post and sync with each other. That way it doesn’t matter if one instance disappears. Though, that would probably not comply with the Fediverse idea? Interesting thought experiment non the less!
