one of these is making a profit off of yo, the other is a community tended commons. there is no comparison.

Yes exactly, those donkeys deserve it

Reddit was all a community tended commons that was making a profit off of people
manitcor@lemmy.intai.tech 1 year ago
profit + commons = not your commons
as evidenced by reddits recent moves.
im going to call that a corporate plaza with volunteer employees.

A big part of the fediverse is that it’s decentralized, one server going down doesn’t mean you can’t see anything, the rest of the network still exists and there are still people using that.

I follow quite a few communities across the lemmyverse so it’s not too big of a deal, but I do know that it’s a very large and popular instance (then again, my advice has always been to settle on a smaller instance anyways)

If an instance is just being slow I’ll hop on to one of my other accounts, let alone down. My client makes that easy to do.

It isn’t double standards, it’s patience for a fledgling replacement platform that seeks to free you from being a commodity to be exploited and sold, and lack of patience from the established, exclusively profit hungry platforms that continue to make your experience worse and disrespect you, solely to squeeze a few extra pennies out of you.
It’s the difference between yelling at a professional pickpocket trying to rob you and a kid who is screwing up trying to help you. Resources matter, but more importantly, motivations matter.

It makes sense! Lemmy servers are new and still gaining stability. You’re also not paying (not even with your data) so you can be more forgiving

Where’s the Lamb SOURCE CODE !?

They are all donkeys. I don’t discriminate.

Reddit and Twitter are multimillion dollar enterprises
I’m just some fool who rents a little virtual server so I can help people use the fediverse
I mean I’m not even an IT guy by trade (just by hobby) - I’m a truck driver.

I cannot express my appreciation, and dude I assure you, you got bigger balls than elon’s chest
joyjoy@lemmy.world 1 year ago
It’s a good thing it’s a virtual server. I can’t imagine the issues you would have if you hosted it from the back of your truck.
newthrowaway20@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Hosting from the back of a truck would be a technological marvel in its own right.

Lmao I’m home every night now (local)
I do host some things at my house, but just for personal use. I don’t need a public site running on my home network.

I am an it guy and mine still goes down… Lol. Your doing great to get an instance going! That setup isn’t exactly non tech friendly.
Mine went down yesterday because my backup job for my docker vols filled up my entire vps.
bdonvr@thelemmy.club 1 year ago
I was starting to run into that until I moved pict-rs to object storage a few days back.
I gzip the backups, keep one local, upload the rest to Backblaze. The local one gets deleted before the next backup starts.

My dude, if you’re renting and running a VPS you’re an IT guy.

truck drivers are basically IT anyways /j
