I imagine there's excitement for the increase of activity but worries about the potential toxic side of Reddit coming along too.

I'd especially be interested in the Lemmy devs' opinions.

I have an i-5 6core dell sitting so why shouldn't I spin up a node?

I'm mostly worried about maintenance and it breaking down one day, how do you deal with that in a good way?

Regular backups should do the job. It's all run in docker instances with mapped volumes, so you can just backup those contents regularly and roll-back worst case if things completely pooped out. Otherwise maintenance isn't really much worse than a normal webserver - great for learning Linux CLI if you're not already familiar.

No reason you shouldn't spin up a node though! The more the better - lets load spread out.
