I would hesitate with WD. I’ve always been a fan of their drives but their software straight up wiped people’s backup disks a few years ago, iirc. That would give me pause before ever using their software again.

He ends the video with this, which I thought summarized his thoughts well:

" ‘No hit to revenue.’ (quoting Hoffman) Your 2 day blackout did nothing. But that doesn’t mean that it has to be in vain. Because you can convert that blackout into an indefinite one, at the blink of an eye. That’s what I’m doing. And that’s what I hope all of you do as well. I want you to teach Steve Hoffman a lesson. I want you to teach him a lesson that his website is not valuable because of the domain name, the servers, the API, or the brand. It’s valuable because of you."

100% agreed. as someone that has been meaning to jump into the fediverse since the Twitter debacle, I was paralyzed by choosing an initial Mastadon server. If you want lemmy/kbin to grow, just link them directly to the best matched instance you can find for them.
