Greetings, and apologies anons. THIS IS NOT A PERMANENT SITE REPLACEMENT! THIS
IS JUST A TEMPORARY LANDING PAGE WHILE WE DEAL WITH EXTENDED DOWNTIME! If you’ve
been witnessing the struggles with our cheapo server, you might have sensed this
was coming. TLDR: Our older server failed, we purchased an identical (old)
server, and that has now failed as well. A newer, better server has been
purchased with RAID 1 NVME drives and a recent processor, so after ANOTHER
transition, we should be much more failure proof. Please be patient and do not
panic. I will periodically update this post as we make progress towards moving
to our new server. In the meantime, while this bunker does not accept posts, you
might want to check out other NSFW lemmy communities like

registering a Lemmy account if you only intended to post here.
It’s a shame too because about 1/4 of the subs on lewd loli were from there (I think that’s how it works).
I appreciate your optimism, but it is not worth the extra manpower and financial burden it would put upon us to run 2 instances. As it stands, we run Burggit entirely out of our own pockets, and the costs to just continue running it are only growing. I also do not have the time to moderate another instance, which would (in my opinion) not be worth the effort that would need to be put into it. So, even if the idea is 100% flawless and would be executed and work perfectly. It would not be worth it to me or @Burger@burggit.moe to put on the substantial burden in making such an instance, maintaining it and moving our SFW communities over to it. That’s just a huge ask.
It’s unfortunately not pessimism on Mastodon/Pleroma/Akkoma there’s kind of 2 sides of the fediverse there. Instances which have a focus on speech, expression or some other variation of the sorts (much like Burggit). And the safe spaces which are closer to Beehaw and others. If you as an instance so much as federate with the “problematic” instances, you’re immediately defederated. There’s even a thing called “fediblock” which allows people to basically tattle on other instances for wrong think and have everyone in the fediblock network automagically defederate them.

Alright, fair enough
