I’m really enjoying lemmy. I think we’ve got some growing pains in UI/UX and we’re missing some key features (like community migration and actual redundancy). But how are we going to collectively pay for this? I saw an (unverified) post that Reddit received 400M dollars from ads last year. Lemmy isn’t going to be free. Can someone with actual server experience chime in with some back of the napkin math on how expensive it would be if everyone migrated from Reddit?

    Imo that the private sector has the label of efficient is something only themselves have pushed and subsequently stuck as common knowledge. As far as I can see, the private sector is equally ridden with inefficiency.

      Equally? Exponentially.

      Anyone who’s worked private sector, especially as a subcontractor, knows that private industry is entirely bloat. For every one productive hour of labor, there’s 10 hours of bullshit middle management and admin work.
