Just heard from someone who lost his #Mastodon account unexpectedly. Don't forget to export an archive regularly, especially if you're on one of the smaller instances. It could go away without warning, leaving you disconnected from your followers. The option is somewhat buried in the settings, making it easy to forget. #backup
Please boost or repost in your own words if you think it's worth knowing. Favoriting does nothing to inform people.
