I was thinking the same thing, universities have historically been the main nodes on the internet because they had the largest data centers. Now thatβs all being replaced by MGA and schools redistribute more and more of the budget into athletics. If universities are still hosting mirrors but theyβre all virtual cloud servers in the same colo, Iβm not sure how effective that is.
Iβll admit I checked it out just to see. Then I realized I actually donβt know anybody who still uses Instagram and I didnβt know what to talk about anyway, so I deleted it and blocked them from my instance.
