A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

The person running an instance has access to the database of that instance and can do whatever they want with the data in that database.

Only 1 server is sending the changes to the other servers? So if the instance is the source, the same thing would happen? Or will most servers have the data already by then, and not receive updates?

If you view the data from Beehaw's interface, you see the data of Beehaw's database. If you view the data from Lemmy.world's interface you see the data of Lemmy.world's database. There's no guarantee of consistency between the databases of different instances.
