This is not a communication problem. Communities are indeed centralized and if an instance is shut down permanently or loses its data all the communities are gone. This is a big design problem of Lemmy.
Edit: it's sometimes possible to rebuild new communities on another instance and recover past messages that have been replicated on other instances (if there were full replicas) but this requires all users and moderators to agree on where to migrate and avoid splits and so on.
Please do now upvote techrights.org - they use hyperbolic tones and produce clickbait.
It's in no way "everyone", just a vocal minority.
Many technologies and other societal changes can create disproportionately negative conditions for the poor. For example not having a phone, not having a car, not having Internet access. Please do not blame the technology. Blame inequality instead.
Correct. The whole point is having simple mechanisms at home to turn on and off energy uses depending on pricing and need. Even discharge your batteries into the grid if needed.
This is pretty much what already happens, with the main difference that the target group would have a codename or a number. Algorithms don't care.
Indeed. If a big instance like lemmy.ml was to be shut down all the communities would be lost. This is simply not sustainable. Why would users put effort building a community if it could be gone at any time?
Terminating a support contract, in itself, is not a GPL violation. The restrictions only affects the ability to receive future updates.
Edit: Red Hat indeed claims that no GPL violation is happening, yet they inform their customers that sharing updates leads to contract termination, which clearly breaches the GPL at least in spirit: https://sfconservancy.org/blog/2023/jun/23/rhel-gpl-analysis/
