I wonder if they're moving to KBin or even Mastodon instead, and that explains the dip in Lemmy specifically.

Fun fact: I'm actually aiming to do just that someday. My work is mostly remote, so if I can manage to live just close enough to the city and with enough space to get my own plantation, I could feasibly live off the grid with only a subscription to the Internet
Personally, that's one of the reasons why I haven't bothered to watch a TV series for almost a decade now. Between this, the constant crackdown on piracy, the outrageous prices for original media, and the constant moral issues from popular culture icons and media CEOs, I'd rather sleep in my free time
Japan has one of the most draconian copyright laws in the world. You can't even rent your own books or disks unless the copyright holder allows for it. I've been puzzled at the fact that they have allowed Let's Plays (and memes and remixes and doujin works for that matter) for such a long time.

All of Japan's Toyota Assembly Plants Shut Down for a Day Because Their Server Ran Out of Disk Space
And that's why I have a weekly cronjob in my server to call BleachBit, remove cycled logs, and compress the images on my storage. Having to make do with a rather limited VPS for years taught me to be resourceful with what I had
Or at the very least, add a way to sideload DRM-free games. That's why I love my PS3, WiiU and even my Switch to an extent.
The more technology progresses in our ultracapitalist environment (and even some ultrasocialist ones like China), the more people are forced to become Luddite self-sustainable hermits in the middle of nowhere for their own good. It's not even to not buy a car - even something as simple as taking a bus or a train or even a pair of shoes is poised to become a privacy nightmare sooner or later.
Just the water I need after I FLOSS my teeth!
