Yes it was, BUT OUR TIME IS FINALLY NEAR 🎶🎸
Lemmy seemed like an easier transition, but I'm definitely keeping an eye on the development of both.
The only perk we had in mind thus far was some user flair (whenever that inevitably gets invented). But you make a great point. Still getting used to this egalitarian perspective.
Your definition of "old pc" is much nicer than mine. No we're not there yet! But likely within the next few months. Lemmy.world recently made this post which you may find educational.
That's a good point I hadn't considered, appreciate the insight. As long as we can pay the bills with what comes in, I suppose for now we'll just stick with what we've got.
Lower now that you've said it out loud
That depends! You can run an instance on an old PC for just yourself and some friends for next to nothing, but a bigger instance with lots of traffic can easily climb to hundreds per month or more. No idea where we'll end up when things slow down, but the subreddits this server represent currently have more users than the entire Lemmy-verse 😅
Counselor, I am happy to read this... and yet I am crying. Perhaps my emotion chip is malfunctioning? (thank you so much🖖)
The world just isn't ready for us yet.
