I don’t think you understand - I can live poor and destitute without a job in my hometown, or leave to find work somewhere else. This is the reality of many Americans in rural America.
This isn’t a quest for “wealth”, it’s a quest for life
I started lemdro.id. Pretty cool domain name, right?

sometimes people don’t want to live in the middle of nowhere forever. not many engineering jobs there. we all want economic mobility too
Lives ARE on the line. It was faulty software that caused the Boeing 737 Max to crash twice, killing 346 people. Software runs your car, the trains, rockets, literally everything.
also, instances can change their default UI. lemdro.id defaults to photon for example
and what you just described is the difference between a computer scientist and a computer engineer!
where is the line at being small? lemdro.id just passed 1k users :)
oh Jira isn’t that bad
Although it’s worth clarifying the !android@lemdro.id mods did not have any power in that decision. The original mods of the LW android community made that choice independently
This did indeed happen. The mods of the LW Android community decided to migrate and merge with the !android@lemdro.id community. Most people were fine with it, but several very vocal people were not. There was much vitriol. In the end, the admins re-opened the original LW android community with new mods.
I’m not really sure this is such a bad thing. The two can co-exist. I think most of the anger of the few vocal people came from disliking the Reddit r/Android mods. It does frustratingly split some participation though.
Disclaimer: I am the founding admin of lemdro.id, however I do not mod the android community on it
Spreading the load over many small instances will likely prevent this. It can be quite cheap to host lemmy well, but everything is expensive when you scale up 1000x
A) to go and earn any money B) I actually pollute less in the place that I moved to since I don’t have to drive a car
