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?
you have a point BUT this (Activity Pub) should be the basis for national governments to host, instead they use X, Whatsapp , Facebook and then bitch when the short arm of US political and billionare interference revahes in and pinchs their taint.
Mastodon and Lemmy can easily be done that way and be an official channels for governments to use and encourage their citizens and self hosters can as well
