@aral If Russia gets cut off SWIFT, both my Fediverse servers are dead.

@aral I'm dead too, because I'm a freelance sysadmin, who does stuff online for a living.

@debacle Why though. Thy are not *one* network.

Fediverse is *one* network, this is why it necessitates this definition.

@aral When anybody says "vote with your wallet" in response to a systemic social issue, I already know this cause is doomed.

@tennoseremel You kinda already are.

I love Internet, but the state of things on the Web is not very promising, to be honest:

- people don't pay for stuff with money
- there's no free lunch, stuff has to come from somewhere
- software devs and service providers have to resort to ads to get money to keep the lights on
- ad industry devours software and services alive

@hacknorris I have no idea. In fact, nobody does.

@aral If neither is achievable, the product's server side that contains data and algorithms must provide a way to self-host, without any loss of functionality.
