Unfortunately, I always take a look around whenever my policy renews (every 6 months) and the one I’m with always manages to be at least a couple hundred bucks cheaper than others. Maybe it’ll be different for me in a couple years ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Nope. I got my license about two years ago, and my rates have only gone up. I got my license a little over a month before turning 25, which may or may impact things
I do too. To be clear, I did NOT mean that we could go without it today. What I meant was that if we didn’t have it to start with, things would’ve likely still developed albeit much more slowly.
I’ll also preface this by saying I definitely slightly misread everything before and so my reply was kinda crappy
It wouldn’t necessarily collapse (it wasn’t exactly suffering before FOSS stuff “hit the shelves”, so to speak) but the gatekeeping that comes with it would certainly cause a tremendous amount of stagnation

Counterargument: it ruined https://youtu.be/Vx5prDjKAcw and that’s not cool.

Zenni is pretty good. My current pair is from Firmoo and is also pretty good. Goggles4u has also worked fine for me, but they took ages to ship.
DDOS is a pretty brute-force attack, so it isn’t typically relying on a vulnerability per se. Pretty much the only way to mitigate it is to have large enough infrastructure that you can detect and filter out its gobs of spammy traffic, which no Lemmy instances (at least at the moment) can really practically have. They could potentially use a service like CloudFlare, which does have that infrastructure in place, but that can be expensive. I’d imagine CloudFlare (or a competitor) is probably the best solution they can go with, at least in the short-term.
I’ve used OCLP, and I didn’t even realize they largely switched to Discord. That explains why finding some info was such a PITA when I was playing around with it.
I will never understand why people choose to use Discord as a forum replacement. It’s just such an awful platform for that.
