slrpnk.net down for good, apparently. Speculation they might return as a different platform (piefed)
(piefed.social)
Very disturbing that this instance vanished spontaneously, like so many small instances do. We don’t even have read access to the content.
The rumor is they are looking to come back as a platform I had not heard of (piefed). Unclear why that could not be explored in parallel to running slrpnk.net.

(I ripped that pic off of programming.dev, a centralised Cloudflare site that I would never send ppl in the free world to, hence why it is a copy).
Not for good, just for now. It's my home instance, so I've been following developments. Lemmy vs Piefed isn't a big deal, my alt is on piefed and it works about the same for the end-user. It still federates like Lemmy does, the major differences are in the backend.
The admins did a post about it here https://lemmy.world/post/30798447
