Desperate or just business as normal?

This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Aren't Reddit moderators already volunteer admins? Still, Lemmy has the same issue as Reddit when considering server costs, if not worse. On Reddit, if a post brings in high volume of traffic, their server (farm?) needs to be strong to handle the influx. On Lemmy, the server instance can go down... theoretically. Not sure how much load a post can cause. But, compared to Reddit, Lemmy federated design means high load situations are suboptimal.
They are, and yet they have limited control over the discourse as we've seen over the last month.
I get your points - I'm interested and excited to see how the Feddiverse grows and I hope it remains sustainable. I feel uncharacteristically positive about it.
Reddit has a harsher delineation between mods and admins compared to Lemmy. It seems common for Lemmy admins to mod some of their communities, while that is really rare on Reddit.
Sure, but the decentralized nature of the fediverse means that a single failure point is no longer enough to take the entire thing down.
