As previously discussed here https://feddit.de/post/1285536 , I am trying to properly decommission my private instance. My main issue: even though I unsubscribed from all communities, the server still gets a lot of POST requests with likes, comments, etc. So how do I tell all the instances to stop sending announcements? I also don’t want to go the hacky way of bogus DNS entries, as that won’t be good for the other instances. This also continues if I simply shut down the stack, just resulting in a lot of 404s.
Is there a manual for this I missed in all the googling?
Commendable that you want to help, but the software needs to handle dead installations as there is no possible way to enforce people to decommission. :) Might be worth dropping just to help the use case of how this gets handled. I feel like you did everything you could.
