Replacing Dropbox in favor of DigitalOcean spaces

They flagged my account and pulled 100% of my servers with no mitigation for 12 hours until I convinced them I was legitimate. DO still handles that incredibly poorly, which is the reason we no longer host anything critical there.

Well, this is a discouraging news. Where have you moved your critical operation?

For clarity, is "They" DO or tarsnap?

Tarsnap uses AWS S3

Also both tarsnap and S3 have no idea what content they’re storing on your behalf. (Everything is encrypted at rest). So for tarsnap, deplatforming should never be an issue.

I’ve been hearing about this happen for a long time. Unfortunate that it’s still the case.
