  • Can it technically die assuming some people still remain active and continue to use its protocols or whatever?

    Its not centralized in a way it even can die in a guranteeable way. Like if Reddit closed down, there would be competitors popping up but Reddit itself the servers would cease to function and it would be dead but to my knowledge, Lemmy is built to avoid all that






  • “Noted”.

    But Don’t ever let people get the impression you’re committing yourself to anything they’ve said unless it actually feels right and is consistent with your needs.

    If that checks out, ask them what actionable first step they recommend for you to get started doing it their way. This also helps you get them to limit themselves to covering that first step with the tacit mutual understanding you will need to dip your toe in with that first actionable step before you are ready for them to dive further with you.

    If not definitely dont ask for more information. Then they will start to expect you to do it their way since you’ve expressed further interest and they have taken the time to break it down for you and become invested inseeing you validate it for them.

    Its also sort of disingenuous and humoring them which some people hate the most. I am one of them, if someone asks me for advice or whatever and i sense they’re just telling me what i want to hear, im probably gonna ghost them
