        The Walmarts near me haven’t been open 24/7 since the pandemic. Definitely still full of garbage and shitty people, though.

        The instance I use is ran by a bunch of Unix nerds, so I’d expect them to wear their uptime as a badge of honour. I suspect there’s probably a sweet spot for instance size, where it doesn’t hit the biggest scaling problems, but big enough to justify the ongoing effort, rather than obviously being a one-man shop that will vanish when his cheque to Digital Ocean bounces.

      Ahhh, defending reddit because lemmy.world is the target of constant ddos attacks? Just go to a different instance. Lemmy’s not closed. A single entrance is just being blocked by assholes who support billionaire-owned platforms.

        It’s like a mall where the main entrance is closed for construction, but all the other entrances, including the entrances through different stores, are all open.

          It’s more like a mall where the main entrance is being blocked by dipshit reactionaries and trolls picketing in front of it.

            I used the construction analogy because they are at least trying to fix the DDOS issues, or at least that’s what I’ve heard.
