How is Lemmy paying for the servers they need to serve content? I have no idea, but someone is footing the bill.
I think eventually what we will see is companies hosting their own official instances where they have absolute admin/moderation privileges (which is bad) but they will wind up paying to host their own propaganda/tech support which is good. Probably governments too, which sounds like it sucks but they have a twitter and facebook pages already so its really no different.
Interesting. I’d welcome something like cable where companies would host content to push their brands.
does it matter? can’t people do anything for the love of the game anymore?
Sure they can, but how long will their “just for the fun of it” mentality last when AWS bills are thousands of dollars and Taco Bell offers them $6 million for control of it?
Would they even tell us or would we just start seeing a bunch of Tacos Locos ads on hot?
I’m betting a non-disclosure would the first thing they’d have to sign.
