WELCOME TO SUMMONER’S RIFT

We are just ignoring the fact that a book above is titled, “Everybody poops 10000 pounds?”

This is the correct answer. A hands on approach is the best approach for a subject like this.

Agreed that would be a huge pain.

A lot of server owners do this already. The instance I’m on for example does this and also disclosed that they would donate any “proceeds” to the development of Lemmy. So they are only paying for upkeep costs.

As of right now, yes your account would go poof. Mastodon currently has a way to migrate servers, but it hasn’t been implemented in Lemmy yet. I’m sure at some point it will become available, but if you are worried about all your posts I’d make local backups for now.

Great fucking article. Nice look into the history of proprietary software. This part stuck out to me:

But there’s one thing my own experience with XMPP and OOXML taught me: if Meta joins the Fediverse, Meta will be the only one winning. In fact, reactions show that they are already winning: the Fediverse is split between blocking Meta or not. If that happens, this would mean a fragmented, frustrating two-tier fediverse with little appeal for newcomers.

We need to convince instance owners not to federate with Meta. History tends to repeat itself and I’d rather not see this nice little corner of the internet die.
