Thanks for this.

There's a /r/BuyCanadian post about lemmy.ca which is probably driving it.

Good point. Way less staff to keep this service running as long as growth is not a priority like it is with most companies.

I don't want it to have ads either but bandwidth is not free and someone somewhere is paying for it.

Is the donations don't cover the bills there are few options.

Could easily see certain subreddits being like OF or Patreon. Pay for access to content. Pretty tried and true business model and it will probably work well enough to keep it around.

Even YouTube has "memberships" to channels now where you get bonus content and stuff.

The people that are interested will pay and those that aren't won't.

That's a good thing ya?

Agreed.

The idea of Vancouver being in the EU is crazy since it's halfway around the world.

Although there is French Polynesia and other overseas territories that are part of the EU so I guess it's not that weird.

Eternal September.

I still recall the digg migration.

Sort of a hypocrite through cause I'm part of the Reddit 3rd Party API migration...

This reminds me of a site called hackerslab back in the 2000s. I think you had to ssh in to some Korean server and try to get the password for the next level.
