  • Mkay, I know it’s hot right now to advocate for killing shitty people who make unethical decisions that fuck over lots of people. But this is not a healthy thing people. It doesn’t stop with the shitty people. It escalates, it kills innocents. Advocating for killing shitty people is advocating for a justice system where anyone can pass a death sentence on anyone else.

    You want less shitty people making unethical decisions that fuck over other people? Than get better fucking people in government. Government is the best tool we have to prevent shitty people making unethical decisions that fuck over lots of people. It’s not ideal but it’s a hell of a lot better than getting gunned down because someone disagrees with you.


















  • I wonder about this a lot. The little research I did suggested DigitalOcean is footing the bill for the moment (and also for Pixelfed? would love to hear more about this). Google, Facebook, TikTok, etc… have all managed to throw enough resources at similar products that people expect a level of performance that is very expensive to maintain. There is some serious hardware and distribution issues ($$$$) with trying to host an “instant and endless stream of short form video”.

    In a counter point though I think large instances like lemmy.world and lemmy.ml have found ways to survive and thrive and the fediverse generally seems to be supported in a very grassroots sort of fashion. Donations, patrons, people who have the hardware and bandwidth sharing what they can for the greater community. Perhaps loops will go the same way.
