One thing that seems to be consistent across the entire fediverse is that it is incredibly unstable. Most of the admins running a lot of them are not professional cloud engineers and are still learning how to do HA (high availability) for scale. This is doubly complicated by Lemmy itself not being well engineered for that kind of configuration and that building systems that way exchanges stability for raw dollarydoos and every Lemmy server is self funded.

Both times i issued a dispute only for it to be completely ignored. Eventually I used a scrubber bot to delete every contribution I ever made instead of letting random power mods just steal content on my high profile posts.

Honestly I have a question I answered myself and was up for over 10 years with hundreds of views and votes only for the question to be marked as a duplicate for a question that verboten has nothing to do with the question I asked. Specifically I was working with canvas and svg and the question linked was neither thing. The other question is also 5 years newer so even if it were the same it would be a duplicate of mine, not the other way around.

Another one is a very high rated answer I gave was edited by a big contributor to add a participle several years after I wrote it and then marked as belonging to them now

It seems like I need to be in the market for a new tracker with fresher content than ipt. Can anyone point me in a direction
