@darius @simon @eaton @Edent in the case of Hypothes.is (where you also run into this, as someone will with the fediverse, too), it's a non-issue because all contributors to the main/public stream are explicitly releasing their stuff under Creative Commons.

@darius yep, that's what @eaton was talking about.

Folks should really be exporting their archives on the regular. Have you considered setting something up for people e.g. that explains that Twitter lets you do this—and give them a place for them to dump it? For those that don't want to go whole-hog on the Mastodon/Fediverse thing, but are amenable to doing just a tiny bit to be proactive about having an escape plan.

@darius the thing that gets me is Firefox. It's like: "Hey, here's this existence proof—an industrial-grade application that embraced the Electron (also: Emacs) architectural style, implemented with a non-trivial amount of JS, but predating Electron and NPM and NodeJS _entirely_ and not adhering to any of the conventions of Modern JS. Despite this, it was/is both higher quality than most of what Modern JS shops produce, and it worked on sub-GHz machines with less than 1 gig of RAM... in 2007."
