Unfortunately this is a risk with any online service, even the largest 😞

What was the process by which you chose OpenBiblio by the way? I'm wondering if there's some way to improve the listing site. I don't think I've listed them on Fedi.Garden, were they on JoinMastodon? If they were listed on either site, they should have had daily backups to avoid this scenario.

@FediTips@social.growyourown.services First I love libraries a lot and implicity trust them, and different from other organisations I know them and how they are governed.
Secondly I always thought they would self host. Never checked this assumpion until now. Feel a bit stupid now as I could k ow better about German IT infrastructure.
I want to stay as far away from big tech and US tech aus humanly possible. So even some European servers are not exactly desirable.
