When I got the idea to start my own Mastodon server in October 2022, many people asked, "What will happen to your server when you die? Will it just disappear? Aren't you afraid you'll lose all your data forever?"
Well, yes. No shit, Sherlock. But it'll be mine while I’m alive.
Websites come and go over the decades. Nothing is permanent. So why should a Mastodon server be any different?
Epicurus once said: Why should I fear death? If I am, then death is not. If death is, then I am not. Why should I fear that which can only exist when I do not?
While I embrace the mindset of focusing on the present, I do everything I can to keep this server running for as long as I live and breathe - and maybe even beyond.
This is why I named my server mementomori.social. It's a reminder. More at https://help.mementomori.social
