evil.social down for weeks
There's a Sharkey-like (Catodon) instance called evil.social. A few months ago, I created an alternate account there so I could have an alternative to calckey.world (another Sharkey-like instance) for situations where Calckey would be experiencing downtime (with Calckey itself having been an alternative for my earlier Friendica account, after Friendica began experiencing frequent downtime occurrences; eventually I ended up staying on Calckey permanently).
At the time, their ActivityPub federation capabilities didn't seem to work properly, I couldn't fetch posts/comments from other instances as well as Calckey.world can. Nonetheless, I still kept the evil.social account as an alternative.
Now, it's been a few weeks since evil.social began returning 502 (Bad Gateway).
Anybody knows what's happening with said instance? Is it temporary downtime or the instance is likely gone forever? If the latter is the case, what alternatives to Calckey.world, other than Evil.social, should I be aware of, as someone who's used both to personal micro-blogging as well as interacting with posts and comments from threadiverse, and someone who's used to write lengthy texts (so max char length matters to me)?
