I paid 5 years in advance after I had zero problems with pinboard for a couple of years. When archiving started to detoriate I contacted support and got ignored. Now I try to take my archive with me and again: it does not work and I get no reply. Maciej has for years marketed pinboard as the sane, stable alternative to VC-money chasing competitors and now for quite some time the service now does not deliver to promise. What you call "drama" most likely are frustrated users who believed in his story.

I understand the complaint, because I have read it on HN a lot. I don't understand why people think it's such an interesting story.

Also: is exporting your entire archive (not the bookmarks, but the archived copies) even a feature Pinboard says it has? That's news to me.

Yes, it's in Settings>Backup>Archive Backup

I think to remember that idlewords even recommended to do it once in a while. Should I not get my archive backup I guess I can still reconstruct most of it from the Internet Archive. It would just be nice if it worked (but my 5-year subscription will run out soon now anyway).
