Hi, all -- If you are using or have used AoIR.social, the AoIR Mastodon instance, I want to let know that our hosting plan dictates that we set a limit to how long we retain data. It's pretty generous, but at a certain point we will hit the limit and need to trim out data -- stuff like pictures, video, or audio. As you probably know, we live in a finite universe! So I am checking those limits this weekend, but in case you're concerned about losing anything, know that you can backup your data at any point. To do so go into your Preferences -> Import/Export and hit the Export button. It should go pretty fast (I just did one and it happened within minutes). Ultimately, there will be a point when older data is not retained, so please do make sure you're backing things up if they are important. Let me know if you have any questions! - Rob
