Off topic, who owns/runs the servers here and how does it make money? I'm new I'm curious.
I asked about this.
Around ~180 euros a month for the server they were renting to run this Lemmy instance. Anybody can host though and any member of a Lemmy can see content and interconnect with other instances.
I was looking into potentially hosting my own Lemmy for my friends and I because the cost would be more manageable.
I'd imagine if people started doing that it would decentralize the costs and the administrative overhead.

similar to old usenet and fidonet, volunteers, there have always been people happy to help run hardware and help make the commons a thing. people were lured away from the gardens and parks by digital theme parks and shopping malls, where the users become customers.
people wonder "how can it possibly work"
email works great! same concept.

It was only a matter of time...
Are Reddit admins the sub owners or Reddit employees?
Admins are employees. The people running the subs are mods. There aren't even 1% of enough admins to moderate the subreddits, but there are enough to police the moderation stances of the large subs.

Completely expected tbh
Biggie knew. Treat everything like itβs your first day because nothing is guaranteed.
Definitely called this. All the right wing trolls on Reddit are salivating at the thought of turning this into a coup by hopping into top mod spots in exchange for licking boot tread. The outcome is pretty obvious.
I was looking at the reddit protest stream when it happened. Since it only says it reopened, i was a bit sad that such a huge sub would withdraw their desicion.
This makes more sense, and its awful.
I wonder what will happen to the subreddits that had voted to black out for the week from the get- go?

Apparently, a heck of a lost of drama involving this.

This was inevitable, unfortunately.
oh my god, what a turn of events. who would have thought?
Actually I accidentally clicked a Reddit link on Google earlier today and (I don't remember the subreddit) my first thought was: I'm pretty sure this subreddit took part in the blackout so why can I see its posts like nothing happened?
