You're kind of jumping over the comment there. You pay for database or image storage or CPU cycles or bandwidth PLUS the management, execs, HR, shareholders if this were to be run like a company. What they're saying is we kind of skip the most expensive costs by relying on the fediverse as a non-profit entity.8

Huge protests in Niger call for French forces to leave after coup

Its quite dishonest how kicking out of imperial colonist nations like France is described only as reducing their role in fighting against Islamist Insurgencies. However EU countries, especially france, is shoving centuries of colonial oppression under the rug. Did Islamist extremism spring out of nowhere? Do people expect centuries of colonization and plundering of natural resources to lead to well adjusted progressive populace in these countries?

You make good point. Even if many people go back to reddit post blackout it still is a win. I think even if lemmy's traffic drops down to "pre-API debacle" levels, there's a key difference between then and now namey that people now know lemmy exists. They are not beholden to reddit. I think reddit, inc would be more careful about pissing off their users now that lemmy jas gotten a significant mindshare.
