Yeah but why give new users a bad experience, you're just gonna drive them away from Lemmy and they never come back
Also we're overly centralized on them, we need to decentralize better, both users and communities
I mean, that could happen to any other Lemmy instance too, unfortunately. And even if you do decentralize, a server going down still deprives the rest of us of that content, so it's never not going to cause some issues. So I wouldn't hold this against Lemmy.world.
I don't hold it against them, it's just unfortunate that they've been having so much downtime recently, certainly more than most other good instances
