I think it's healthy for them to accrue a decent amount in case donations go away for one reason or another. I looked through that report you linked and I don't know how to make sense of whether or not it's a reasonable amount they've got sitting in the bank, to be honest.
How about Vscodium?
Why are people downvoting this? It's just practical. If you don't reduce the amount of storage you use, the cost of storing will constantly and steadily rise, will donations or personal budgets keep up? Maybe on lemmy.world or other mega instances but it just won't be the case for everybody. I think purging old content is gonna be a reality eventually, even if it takes a really long time before it catches up to the larger instances. And it's going to be OK as long as, as this person suggested, the rules for purging old stuff is tenable for everybody.
For example, does lemmy.world, lemm.ee, and sh.itjust.works really NEED to keep each other's entire federated post history, in perpetuity? As these guys grow larger wouldn't it make sense to start purging very old duplicate content between them? Stuff that hasn't been accessed on the instance in, say, over a year? Mind you, I believe that before we get to this point, there will be other systems in place. For example, the Reddit archive sites were never run by Reddit, and they often contained ads or other monetization strategies. Donations can keep the most recent or relevant content up on the instances, but somebody somewhere is gonna have to pay for this content to stay out there. For all we know, it's gonna be fucking Google and their seemingly unlimited cache. For all we know, some person at Google is spending his 20% personal project time subscribing a bot to everything on the fediverse and collecting data for some kind of new search engine right this very second on Google's hardware.
Anyway, just some food for thought.
I believe db0 is working on something like this to help combat the eventual waves of spam and stuff were going to see.
The two main Devs of Lemmy do this full time. They're not hired in a traditional sense, but the project is funded enough for them both to work on it as their full time job. Now, this isn't a problem with open source, I'm a professional software Dev and you would not BELIEVE how many enterprise, proprietary systems are still doing things like building SQL statements by directly concatening strings that come from user input (especially in enterprise software cause, well, who's gonna fuck around with it?). No, this is a problem of having this many eyeballs on you. The tiny little places they slipped up and didn't properly sanitize a user input string was found and exploited. Most proprietary systems do NOT reach this level of user count, and in particular Lemmy attracts a certain more tech-savvy demographic that would've found this sooner or later, malicious or not. Remember, this vulnerability was not just found, somebody was looking for it.
Isn't it just awaiting some kind of approval?
Tell me about it. They rather hamfistedly tried to fit a rectangular design language into a circular screen and it never quite works right.
I feel like I know the answer already but how do you know this?
Heh I remember searching for an hour about how to see the GUI of a docker container when I was first getting into it. Didn't help that I was using windows to run docker, either, it's a whole other layer of abstraction.
