So who actually owns the server this instance runs on? Doesn't it just mean they do whatever they want? So confused
There are a ton of Lemmy instances that all communicate with each other and each instance is ran on hardware by different owners. So if one instance goes to shit your account will still work on all the other ones.
So if a Lemmy instance goes down, all of the communities and comments go down with it? Seems almost worst than having a CEO?
Seems like the saving grace is anyone can either start or move to a different lemmy instance whenever. It's not like someone can just host their own copy of Reddit if spez ever went nuclear.
