   A kolektiva.social admin was raided by the FBI, who recovered an unencrypted database backup from their computer.

   These are the people telling you how to run your server, and encouraging centralization onto just a few instances.

   Please remember, even if your instance is run by a benevolent paragon of praxis, who you're 1000% sure would never ever cooperate with the feds.... there's a whole ecosystem of ISPs, hosting providers, and the admin's very own incompetence that makes it Literally Just Any Other Website.

   For example, why was the admin's disk unencrypted? Even if they didn't have a db backup, they likely still had ssh keys that could have been used by the feds to log in to the instance.

   Oh and one more thing... Finding about about a mid-May raid in July is fucking unacceptable. When I was raided by the cops in 2011, people on services I operated knew **that hour** and were able to cut access.
