You've heard about the bad news and there are other persons who can articulate way better than me, so i will keep the journal short.

FA is my main and almost only platform to upload pictures since 18 years and if it goes down, a lot of stuff will be lost. The pictures can be uploaded somewhere else, but all the messages, comments and follows from my more productive years will fade away.
I hope, people will be able to avoid a shutdown.

The only 2nd platform i kinda use, is an half-abandoned account on Weasyl: https://www.weasyl.com/~paddy
Maybe, i'll go there. But starting something completely new with an output of an handful pictures a year doesn't feel promising.
