Are you planning to pay for the extra bandwith to deal with all the additional traffic?
Meta will.
And then when they own the servers amd all the traffic, lemmy will be quietly murdered.
Quietly, because they'll control the traffic, and therefore the narrative
Today no.
Come make your instance on Meta(tm) it's free(tm)!! Its fast! It's yours!!
Then later they'll wreck havoc on our small servers making them slow and unreliable, making their servers even more interesting for people. And so on.
And that's just one way among lots of ways.
I love that your fear is they will be successful and the lemmy devs and admins don't have their shit together or a plan to handle anything but a small niche headcount.
Lololol 3 responses hurts those servers so baaad!
