Do you think, that there are many communities (especially their mods) on reddit that would be openminded to migrate to lemmy?
Imho most subreddits will "sit it out", i guess a lot of mods will more likely choose a subpar product (i guess tools for mods will still be able to access the api) than risk it to loose their "power" they have over their subs - There will always be a group of people that are willing to take over the old subs
Edit: words are hard
CDU macht eben CDU-Dinge, wer hätte das gedacht.
Yeah, that's bad. But i guess they would still load and mirror all content from communities from those instances besides the content from users belonging to those silenced instances (but this content would then not be viewable).
So they are profiting from those communities, but they are also benefitig those communities as well, because all other communitiy members can see their content.
You are right, it is a big issue, especially with all those tuya variants. Which is exactly why I recommended shelly. :)
The shellys do come with an embedded web server to access it's features locally, even MQTT is possible in the dedault firmware. And if you truly dislike propietary software/firmware it is also possible to upload your own firmwares (tasmota or esphome) without any soldering needed
Correct me if I'm wrong but that's not how it works. Beehaw users can't read and comment on other instances, that Beehaw defederated with.
Meine Lieblingsrezepte für den Sommer, wenn wir keine Lust auf Kochen haben und etwas erfrischendes wollen:
You could go a step further and use a wifi switch, with that you could change the "alarm times" and for how long it should stay on right from your phone.
Shelly does have some nice options for wifi relay switches
They are already matching serial numbers in software to verify if a part is still the original one, so I guess the next logical step would be indeed to switch to authentication modules. With that they would allow users to change the parts on their own while still making lots of money
