    Very little negative impact on the average person, low staff numbers, frees up water and electricity for the people. Personally, I can’t think of a better target.

        if Lemmy stopped existing I’d read a book or go outside. I might even drink a beer with friends. It wouldnt be so bad, I bet.

          Idiots keep saying “destroy all datacenters” and then comments like yours not keeping up with any sense of context.

            Anyone ever tell you that you’re a real turkey? Or a pill? How about a real piece of… work?

            I’m ok with Amazon’s data centers going down too. The internet has grown far too centralized anyway.

              It’s wild that the Internet was designed to be decentralized, then…

              Corporate response: “Let’s get rid of all our on-prem stuff and put it in the same place as everyone else”.

                Sure, it’s less robust, but line must go up.

Welcome to the News community!

Rules:

1. Be civil

Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.

Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.

4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.

Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title.

7. No duplicate posts.

If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.


8. Misinformation is prohibited.

Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.


9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.

All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description.
