      Hypothetical response:

      “Sure, that’s an option, but no other social media I use requires a routinely read regarding whether I need to backup my saved items because it might shut down.”

      Let me just be clear that I personally don’t have a problem with how lemmy runs, but I do think that difficulties and issues are heavily downplayed for potential users.

        As someone said in another comment “you know how when a corner shop closes in town, you’re still able to go to a different store, but if safeway has driven all the other stores out of business and then shuts down you’ll fucking starve to death?”

          Yep. It’s a good analogy. I’m not sure that this is the kind of argument which will get sceptics aboard, but I like it.
