I hope you're back and things in your life are going better.

I and others are wondering what your plans are for the future of SaidIt. Of the top of my head I have a few critical issues...

The old-Reddit-code is a ticking time bomb and eventually servers will update and SaidIt will no longer be served. To actually update the Python or whatever would take hundreds of coding hours or more. This might be remedied for a while by a dedicated old school server or something, but that still requires setup work, and maybe funding.

It would be good to have a backup plan to pay the domain/hosting bills to avoid future blackouts.

IMO, it would great to be able to archive/share the SaidIt database with the world for the long term. This could be done in many ways, such as make ZIP files available (like WikiSpooks does - and they can be torrented, IPFS, etc.), or share a frozen read-only SaidIt mirror without comment/post/message ability.

Ideally it would be great if we could evolve to another platform (preferably decentralized) and bring the SaidIt DB and history there somehow, even if frozen.

I don't want SaidIt to have problems, but we need to prepare for the worst and hope for the best. Plus, in these strange times we need all the good communications and networking options possible.
