Unfortunately there isn't much you can do if the server goes down. I'd suggest setting up the communities on another instance and try to get people to migrate to the new one, like what !android@lemdro.id did.

It's genuinely amazing how Americas can be so blazé about what's like half the length of my entire country.

This is just pure defeatism and an excuse to not put in any of the hard work needed to make things better. If this was true, the right-wing ruling class wouldn't spend billions on trying to influence your opinions and fostering this exact type of hopelessness.

They did mention Lemmy in the article.

It's missing an apostrophe after the I.

No, the devs have explicitly stated they don't want to add following users to Lemmy.

It's performative cruelty to desperately claw back some points in the polls.

I think being indifferent to the suffering you cause on those around you is a moral failing. You said yourself you aim to treat people how you want to be treated, do you not care if those around you inflict suffering on you? I don't see how indifference to suffering can be universalised.

Edit: didn't see your edit before posting, I still don't think you've justified why the unnecessary killing/causing suffering of a person and animal are different. Your argument seems very circular on this, killing humans and animals are different because they are different.

Why not? If actions I take cause you suffering, shouldn't I try my best to prevent that?

Is disease prevention also amoral?

Do you think we shouldn't try to minimise unnecessary suffering?
