1 TB is more than enough for most people. I am wondering how they will stay in business. Who would pay for that second Terabyte?

Edit: they recently changed their free tier to 30 GB. That is still pretty generous. I knew they wouldn’t last giving away a free TB for everyone.

      Lemmy is not free. Not even close. Someone’s paying out of pocket to run the hardware and pay the upkeep.

      You are just a guest here. Host your own and you can pay the bills instead of freeloading off someone.

      That’s part of the entire point of this. It ain’t free, but if we all split the load of hosting enough then the cost becomes manageable across the entire community.

      So that way one person or one company isn’t forced to find endless ways to make money to keep the lights on.

        True. I don’t see the relevance though? On Reddit, we were indeed the product, unlike here.
