Of course - unless your prices increase to match, which requires consumer prices to increase to match too.
My angry point is - small, independent businesses shutting down is inherent to the system as it stands.

This is happening because our wages haven’t kept up with rising costs. Otherwise paying £20 for a fish and chips wouldn’t be an issue.
All those pesky staff, costing me money to produce value.
Can we keep this kind of content out of UKCasual? Nothing about it is casual or relaxed.
How about on /c/unitedkingdom !unitedkingdom@feddit.uk

Yeah, the days covered thankfully. Was good and interesting, but my brain has been thoroughly scrambled.
Wish I could afford to eat out in central London ha.
A lottt of surgeons talking for more than their allotted time.
I woke up before 6 to go to London today.
I am tired.
The Fediverse is a niche product too, frankly.
And the disruption is the problem. The whole point of EEE is to choke growth of competition.
How is ActivityPub and the Fediverse insulated from this?
I don’t think any fediverse user is concerned about their data being taken. The concern comes from the obvious threat of embrace-extend-extinguish.
Meta’s intent is irrelevant; EEE is basically a given of a large corporation because it helps maximise profit.

I bought an air purifier to deal with the pollens - seeing as I had my first asthma-like symptoms ever the night before last - and I could not be more excited for it to arrive.
Also, jam on toast for breakfast.
Okay. So if lemmy.world goes down then presumably all the communities it hosts also go down? This seems to present a bit of a logistical problem for community longevity. For example, a small instance that creates a popular community across all of the fediverse then has to try and support a large amount of traffic with possibly little local income/support?
I’m here still trying to figure out how instances and communities differ.
I signed up on lemmy.world, which is the hosting instance for my account, right? And then I’m posting this in a thread in the CasualUK community.
But is this community just on lemmy.world, or across all instances?
Bought Chivalry 2 last knight. Man that’s a blast. I must have had my head cut off at least 4 times in an hour!
