My partner is planning to start using the Grimmory (ebook reader) instance I set up on our home network, when AO3 is back up. I suspect this has been a wake up call for a lot of fans that media is not safe in one centralized place.

    Wasn't the point of AO3 that nowhere else was willing to host it?

    No, just no corporate-owned users-as-a-product site. Millions of people are willing (and already do) host downloaded files from AO3 on their phones and computers. That's redundancy.
