Bugs are a part of the fun in Bethesda games.

Mozilla has made a lot of bad decisions recently(laying off 50% of staff a couple years ago), they gave up on their XR browser, and numerous performance issues on Mac. I love what Mozilla stands for, but the management has degraded quite a bit in the last 10 years. The only thing I use these days from Mozilla is Thunderbird but even that is showing its age.

I doubt there will be much admins can do. A good repost bot can easily pose as a real person thanks to LLMs. Not to mention reddit had some of the best spam filters on the web and they couldn't stop it. Once lemmy becomes more popular, the bots will come.

In the US, it's not very common unfortunately. That sounds delicious!

So what about instances that block other instances? I.e Beehaw. Will they still receive updates?

French fries and mayo

 

Just curious how much it would cost to run an instance? Maybe with 1,000-10,000 users? Also are there any hosts that ya'll recommend? I am most familiar with Digital Ocean but DO may not be the best area to host an instance.

Apologizes if this is the wrong community to post this in. I am not sure where to find any info on pricing estimates

 

If the reddit exodus happens and Lemmy gets even 2% of reddit's daily active users, how will Lemmy sustain the increased traffic? I know donations are an option, but I don't think long term donations will be sustainable. Most users will never donate.

I know the goal of Lemmy isn't to make money, but I know that servers and storage costs add up quickly. Not to mention the development costs.

I would love to hear the plans for how to offset those costs in the future?
