I hadn’t been paying attention and Lanyrd, yet another social site I used to use, has apparently gone under. Wish I’d had some notice to extract my data out of the service before it raged into the dying of the light.
I ought to start a “dead pool” for making odds on the next social media sites to disappear.
I vaguely remember seeing notice of it going away. Which means the rule of social media is: If you care about the content keep a local copy, because the services that will die are the ones that you forget are there, and you won’t notice them disappearing.
Done before, f**ckedcompany, in Web 1.0 😉
Ah well. Another one bites the dust.
I thought it was a good idea. They just needed to make a blockchain of confirmed attendance and speakerships, then enough VC would have been thrown at them to stay around for a decade.
Chris, you should definitely throw an eye on @colloq_io! A great new project by 3 great guys with an ethical mindset and a whole #indieweb epic in their backlog. Highly recommended! E.g. colloq.io/events/indiewe…
it’s currently up if you want to grab your history
Thanks for the heads up! Any news on its future? Are they leaving the lights on for @internetarchive to copy before going dark, maybe?

Since the old Lanyrd site was back up over the weekend, I went in and saved all of the old data I wanted from it before it decided to shut down again (there is no news on when this may happen). Sadly there is no direct export, but I was able to save pages individually and/or save them to the Internet Archive.
I also just noticed that notist seems to have a relatively nice import/export path which may also be available for some too. I love that their site says this:
