Pinboard
I know there's a lot of attention right now to Twitter's implosion and possible alternative sites,but I'm actually a little more worried about pinboard going down--there's a discussion of this here.
I have backed up my bookmarks, of course, but are there any alternative social networking bookmark places? I do get a ton of my reading recs from pinboard, either my own network or just generally searching the site, and that's the part I'd really hate to lose. Also, I don't even know a lot of people in my network; I just followed them because they bookmark cool stuff, and wouldn't really know how to find them again if pinboard goes down.
I'm making this post mostly so I can pin it; if anyone in my network wants to leave a comment for how to find you in the future (or DM me), or has suggestions about where to migrate in the event that pinboard collapses, I'd appreciate it!
Edited to add:
A couple suggestions for alternate sites: raindrop.io, which is bookmarking, not social.
Also, the current first comment here talks about someone developing a new social bookmarking site. (Direct link in case the comments change significantly: https://ln.ht/ ).
LATER EDIT:
Here's a pretty good review comparing pinboard to raindrop.io: https://dsalo.info/pinboard-vs-raindrop-two-bookmark-apps-enter/

I don't believe it has the network aspect that pinboard and delicious had, but before yesterday I thought it was all public with no option for private bookmarks, and learned that it is the opposite - everything is private unless you make it public by creating a sharing link. The tagging and bundling functionality is great - it's the networking aspect that we stand to lose, I think.

It's quite possible pinboard will limp along for quite some time; at least I'm not worried about Maciej selling it to a semi-sociopathic billionaire who will bring it down in flames.
