yes, some comments are so extreme like "i hope their community dies off".

Dude, like... wtf? seems like they did good by separating even if temporarily.

I'll try and create an account over there because I like the idea of a safe space to discuss some topics that are sensitive to the users but in any case I wish them the best and hope that they will be able to re-federate soon enough.

I've recently migrated a forum community (vbulletin -> discourse) using a vpn by Contabo (germany hosting). Their price are incredible and while you don't get an official SLA, it's around 99.5%.
