Almost all websites are running on servers in datacenters. You lose fun stuff, but you lose Lemmy instances, you bank goes down, commerce goes down, wikipedia goes down, most of the internet goes offline.
Offline is okay, you say? Not when banks can’t move money because it’s down. Not when stores can’t sell anything and you can’t pay by cards or get gas or groceries, and stores can’t restock because trucking.
People really need to be educated about what datacenters are and aren’t, because far too many people think they’re just for AI or just for a few things.

It’s not bad if you skip the images :)
You underestimate how much of a
mood a lot of Lemmy users are in.
