Who is specifically impacted by this?

me :D

my net is painfully slow so selfhosting is not a reliable option, and it’s solely because of infrastructure of my apartment. I can’t pay more to increase my net speed, so i went with a hosting provider.

Take a look at communick.com/lemmy, I don’t have an automated way to import an existing instance but if you have a backup of your media and database we can work something out.

Looks like it’s one of those sites that let you easily host an instance of various sites, one of which includes Lemmy.

I’m not sure who will be affected but if it’s anyone, probably mostly single user instances.

Meanwhile, Google/Alphabet is announcing today record revenues of U$ 100 billion for the latest quarter alone…

The less the community support smaller, independent service providers, the more we will all be assimilated by the Borg.

How many Fediverse instances will be affected by this? How easy will it be for them to migrate elsewhere?

They’re among the very very few Hubzilla hosters. And I think they are the only (streams) hoster.
