Burning my house down will cost me money. Shutting lemmy.world down will save the owner a lot of money. They’re not really comparable.

The reality is that a lot of lemmy hosts will rise and fall over the years, and a lot of communities will disappear with them.

I hope you’re right. I’m just afraid .ml users will see no reason to leave the beehaw communities

Yeah, but at the moment, beehaw, ml, world and shitjustworks are the 4 biggest lemmy servers. Now, beehaw and ml will stay on the beehaw communities, while world and shotjustworks will have to split out into new ones

This sucks, and might be the reason I return to Reddit. This pretty much splits the Lemmy population in two halves
