    Thank you (very late, I know). :)

    What you said is exactly right, the instance should just always be there and never be down. And users should not be harassed by moderators for not phrasing their posts exactly right, or having a bad day and maybe getting annoyed sometimes. Personally I think that is perfectly alright. We are humans.

    Hope you guys continue to enjoy the instance!

    Haha yeah. Well I’m an arch user for at least a decade, and i saw manjaro come… It was very popular in the beginning. Then they started making strange decisions, but I think many people are still happy with it. Otherwise I think endevourOS is doing good. :)

    Thank you!

    Yeah since the content is federated, it’s no guarantee that anything is actually deleted. Someone could listen to everything that is posted on the entire lemmy network and copy it in real time to some other database.

    So never use real names or give up personal details if you care about your privacy online.

    No but I really appriciate you asking. :) I have a good job so paying the server expenses is not difficult. This is also the advantage of using distributed / federated technology - each server can be small and the costs are kept low.

    If we gain a lot of users and need to upgrade, we can find some ways for you guys to contribute with some donations, but right now I’m just happy to see people using the instance and enjoying Lemmy.

    I hope it can be a small step away from being treated like you are just a consumer on the internet.
