Hate that aspect of social networks as well. Someone has to moderate manually in the end, once a community is not finely curated. Since that is not pleasant experience.

Thats why I Love the idea that users have to show some merit before allowed to join a community. But that kind of system does not scale well. And social networks usefulness is all about scale. There are contradicting forces at play here.

For Videos I can get it, since that costs much storage and bandwidth for the host 🎞️. But for raw text/html? No.

Can someone tell me what happens if my Lemmy instance host shuts down 💀? Will my posts be deleted?

“You can not buy intelligence”

But the product of appearing intelligent is sold: private Education. Also you need to be able to afford the right condition: Not starving to death to appear intelligent, afford food & afford some water without lead contamination (since lead in the water lowers IQ), lead pipes where used for drinking water in poorer areas … Also research and innovation costs lot of upfront capital investment and connections nowadays.
