Lemmy is CEO-proof. After Digg, Reddit and Twitter, that term should be a thing (yiffit.net)

So who actually owns the server this instance runs on? Doesn't it just mean they do whatever they want? So confused

There are a ton of Lemmy instances that all communicate with each other and each instance is ran on hardware by different owners. So if one instance goes to shit your account will still work on all the other ones.

My understanding is that (at present anyway) since accounts are not federated, your account on that "gone to shit" instance will be gone. Your content will still be on many federated instances, but not your account. That would be lost.

this is my understanding too. like, I was confused why my account doesn't work for lemmy.my, but then I find out that I still can comment on it from lemmy.world
