Hi Frot, me ole mate!
Happy New Year & many of them to you & yours!
I received a gift from Twatter over Xmas 2020 - full deplatforming. I tried to create new accounts later, but was swiftly spotted by the haters and reported, so I gave up with that site.
At 8.10pm on New Year's Eve just past (while I was sending much love to my many followers) I was summarily dismissed by FakeBook and Discord at the same time. Fakebook found my change of IP suspicious and Discord declared that I had posted false and misleading information.
I have been unable to recover either of those accounts despite much patient hoop-leaping ever since.

This leaves me only Hive.blog and email for communication.
I haven't tried either GAB or BASTYON and, tbh, I am reluctant. Why enter the boxing ring with more heavyweights who want to batter fuck out of me? I am just a grannie in Dorset UK after all....

Today, after reading a couple of snidey comments on my articles I am alerted that my Hive.blog account could disappear at any moment. I read the Hive Terms & Conditions - yep.... they can delete our accounts and they don't even need to explain why. Just BISHBASHBOSH YOU ARE DEAD styly!! https://hive.blog/tos.html (see Section 13)

I have looked for a way to safely store my 1,100+ articles or, at least, to download a copy of them as backup but it is beyond my limited IT skills. Do you know if it is possible to make a full copy (as happened when Hive forked from Steem)??
Or must I suffer the total loss of a decade of research if I fall foul of the stalking whales and downvoters?
You know I value your opinions & advice.
Much love, as ever, Fran xx
