    Unrefined / idea: have a platform (with at least one instance managed by a trustable structure) to host all accounts from recently shut-down servers. Read only, likely no posts, just backups of profile data.

    1. Enable users (authentified with their email?) to download their following/followers/etc data even after their server closed.

    2. In cooperation with the closed-down server’s owners, direct the old domain there, and it will provide a 404 landing page about the shutdown, but also:

    3. ActivityPub accounts endpoints for migration/redirects, users being able to direct their old account after the fact to their new account elsewhere.

    All in all, a service to make it less stressful, time-sensitive and destructive when a server closes, both for users and admins.

    It could even be self-hosted (in a much less expensive and easy to manage set-up than the Mastodon software) by the original server’s admins, which also avoid the possible personal data issues that there is in transfering all accounts to a third-party, even a well-meaning one.

    A ready-to-use closed server web app.

    @nclm Why not to simply allow users to move their data, including followers, followings and posts, to already existing instance?

    Also, how do you want to assess if the instance is managed by a trustable entity/person?
