does not require an email for sign-up, does not store ip addresses, and (most of the time) you get posts removed or banned for giving particularly doxxable info

For what it’s worth, they have their domain back. It seems from a skim from the front page they’re just deciding how to refederate (allow list or block list, basically they are trying to decide if they will automatically federate with new instances).
At the time of writing this comment the votes are close and allow list is winning (many commenters don’t want to federate with new instances unless they are approved).
