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 swear Lemmy spends more time worrying about the future of Lemmy than it does being social media and ensuring there is a future to worry about.
Just use the thing, damn.
