    What’s stopping you from burning your house down?

    The answer is usually not that the house is completely impervious to fire, nor even that the fire department would come and put it out, but that you don’t want to do that.

      Burning my house down will cost me money. Shutting lemmy.world down will save the owner a lot of money. They’re not really comparable.

      The reality is that a lot of lemmy hosts will rise and fall over the years, and a lot of communities will disappear with them.

        Random question, but how would that work out with my account? Would I keep my username and just change my server, or need a whole new account?
