Comment on Slrpnk.net outage

And on the punk side of things, anybody familiar with volunteer community action, cooperative events, whatever, knows that sometimes a person doing shit for the community fails to do the shit they were supposed to do because some other shit happened in their life. It happens. We just move on to the backup shit-doer-person or find a workaround for the lack of shit.
And this is the cool thing about a distributed network like Lemmy. If a giant centralized database like FB goes down, its users can’t do anything. If our favorite Lemmy node goes down, we can log into other nodes until our home base is back up.
