Know thyself
You are of course correct, the ‘law’ as written is way too vague to actually even apply in many situations. But it is a fun way to call out articles like this!
I would personally say it is more of a rule of thumb for identifying clickbait journalism. But calling it that isn’t catchy enough, much like the first half of this article’s headline 😄
I could see bandwidth being a big issue if the community grows as well, considering images aren’t cached on your local instance so that could easily take down a smaller server or cause a huge unexpected spike in costs.
I feel like we need a good third option, but I’m not even sure what that would look like. Maybe something distributed like IPFS.
Maybe Lemmy isn’t for you.
@bleistift2@feddit.de is right. What the lines are is very important. But it also matters over what time period.
If we do say, 20 lines per workday for a month, your heart will be fine!
Your nose might fall off though.
I believe that was just coincidental timing. Not complaining though, because it made it all much more exciting.
The best part is now all the foundations are here too so when the next big ‘event’ happens Lemmy will be in an even better position to absorb all those users.
