The instance collectiva dot social database was seized by the FBI in mid-May 2023. The raid was part of an investigation into a local protest uh and collectiva was neither a subject nor target of this investigation but apparently they were searched. At the time of the raid their admin is troubleshooting an issue and worked with a backup copy of the social database.
