Yeah, we've gotta legislate a "housing market" that carves out affordability. A pure unregulated market just means that business owners will try and make you choose between a roof over your head, food on your table, transit, and medical care, to extract the shirt off your back if they can. That should be immoral/illegal for the basics of survival.
Supposedly the lemmy.ml and lemmygrad instances and Lemmy software are made by people who think the Chinese Communist party is good. I haven't verified it though.
Sure! Reddit survived for a good long time without their own image hosting though. We'll see how the Fediverse handles it.
Text is cheap. It doesn't cost a ton of money to run these instances at least not yet, so people can do it as a hobby or with a few supporters.
It does however pay to ask your instance admins what their plans and policies are for moderation, defederating, finances, backups, having a money buffer in case things need to be spun down, and having multiple admins in case of disaster.
Can't wait for the AI and Metaverse bubbles to pop.
Turns out people like working with other people and enjoying reality. I'm darkly amused that "touch grass" has quickly become both an insult and sincere life advice.
Yes, Reddit has messaged mod teams and pressured them into reopening. So far I don't think there's a case of them forcing their own mod team in to replace striking mods, but it's absolutely on the table.
I can only speculate with zero evidence, but it's possible that the creator has strong feelings about communism, neo-nazis, or reddit, and others involved have other stances.
I don't think the app or Lemmy itself was archived due to technical reasons though, it seemed to work decently enough.
It was ok and I met one person there but I prefer okcupid personally. Hinge seems decent.

It's possible, any admin can do anything they want, but it would be relatively rare. The way I've seen that play out is like if an instance pops up that seems like it's run by a Nazi but you can't really tell so you look at who their friends are. Usually it's like if the admin is interacting a lot with Nazi instances or content you can guess where their loyalties will lie. But a lot of instances simply won't block random small instances that haven't caused trouble yet, through nothing but being unaware.
Some communities want to be insular though, it's totally valid to want a "private forum" for let's say kids or religions or schools or a marginalized demographic. So they may block nearly everything for their own internal reasons.
My advice, don't hang out near Nazis and don't hang out in a place that doesn't make it clear that Nazis aren't welcome. Lemmy doesn't really have a lot of code of conduct stuff set up but that's the main thing to pay attention to.
The memo as a whole is encouraging employees to keep working and not lose faith or get scared; that part is telling them that they're not going to get laid off due to declining revenues.
Of course it's all BS, businesses can't predict the future, but I'd agree that advertisers and subscribers didn't suddenly cancel en masse. It'll take more action to see effects there.
I can't read that lol
