Me, who’s already been here for a few weeks, trying to just load a post or make a comment right now with the influx of traffic:

Wanted to be on a reasonably big instance, since I figure they’re more likely to stick around in the long run. Lemmy.ml was closed for registration at the time (might still be, idk), and plus I have some disagreements with the admins, so I chose lemmy.world. I’m pretty happy here and don’t see a reason to change personally, although the server’s getting pretty overloaded recently so we’ll see.

More recently, we have determined that there isn’t value in having a downstream rebuilder.

Alright, well, there it is in plain English. They’re killing downstream clones like Rocky, Alma, etc.

I have to wonder how this is going to affect software which officially only supports (insert RHEL clone here). I use DaVinci Resolve for work every day, historically they’ve only supported CentOS, and just recently they started supporting Rocky as well. VFX isn’t my wheelhouse, but I know the situation is basically the same for those programs as well.

Bonus points if they’re Nintendo games!
