In the last week I have seen solar punk go down and aussie.zone owner talk about stepping away.
I’ve not seen two places down at once that has made it to my feed in the last 3 years.
Is the self hosting aspect of lemmy a detriment to the entire environment? Admins getting burnt out or the costs becoming too high is absolutely an issue.
I know this is kind of rambling but what would happen to Lemmy if the major hosters all went down, and we all spun up our own personal services?
I’m on instance five or so. Two imploded and another one was offline for a while. It does kinda put me off the whole thing but I also don’t see obvious solutions. Time, burnout, and money are always going to be issues. I considered contributing to mbin in the past, but I’d never run an instance as I don’t have the time to deal with it.
