Instead of acting like an entitled brat, why don't you go start your own instance. Shouldn't be too hard, just some little technical know how and few bucks a month. Should be a small price to pay to escape venture capitalists. If you can't handle it then too bad, just tough it out.

saved posts etc

Saved posts are exportable https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/45915265?scrollToComments=true

I think I'll just stop using Lemmy when this instance shuts down

...and nothing of value will be lost.

Oh no.
Please.
Don't go.

its not a few troll messages. most of the admins couldnt be replaced, i suspect moderation isnt thier only problem.

If you're talking about the saved comments and posts on your account, doing the data export comes with a JSON list of all the posts and comments you've saved

A couple of guys couldn’t handle a few troll messages? Sorry, if we want an independent site, away from the hands of venture capitalists, you’re gonna have to tough it out and deal with a few nasty messages.

No they aren't. Clearly they don't have to, as they are in fact shutting the instance.

They're providing a service, as volunteers, for free, and asking nothing in return. By definition they get to set the terms on which they do that, and it is astonishingly selfish for you to expect them to do so under conditions that are clearly untenable, and blame them for this outcome when they cannot continue.

No. If you want an independent site, away from the hands of venture capitalists, you should've stepped up and volunteered to admin when they needed help.

I think posts and comments will stay saved on other federated servers. It'd be weird and would probably break things if the entire server's activity gets scrubbed.
