Dec 4 was the day Luigi allegedly pulled the trigger.
I don't know what that has to do with today and Mar 10th though...

? That's a bizarre response.
No one here is trying to fleece you. People are suggesting ways to run your own instance as that's the major difference between Reddit and Lemmy; you're not obligated to use someone else's hardware or be subject to their rules, you can setup your own systems and have a bit more freedom. Reddit doesn't give you that option.
Your account is subject to the rules of the instance it was created on, as well as the rules of each community you're interacting with. If you run afoul of the admins for your instance, you can be banned, losing access to that account completely.
If you were to run your own instance; no single admin could ban your entire account if you pissed them off. You can still be blocked from communities or entire instances if you don't play nicely with others, but you won't lose the account so you can still use it in other instances/communities.
For most people this isn't really necessary; but lemmy also has a pretty large number of tech nerds that like to self-host our own services, so you'll get quite a bit of 'heres how you can do it yourself' type responses.
Unlike reddit, you can just setup your own space on your own hardware completely under your own control, if you don't like what's available.
It was all positive until the guy below me came in throwing insults. Then people started piling downvotes on both....
You're not required to run your own instance on your own hardware; you've just got to find an existing instance with an admin team you're comfortable with, create your community there and recruit moderators just like you would on Reddit.
Just knowing who those two people are requires education and we can't have that.
Plus the sexual references? Double whammy; Ban approved.
Honestly; I'm impressed they both messaged you and gave you options.
Usually you wouldn't find out until the mailman is demanding payment for the package he's holding hostage in front of you.
I definitely recommend it, particularly using docker compose. It's made it incredibly easy to add, remove, and modify software installs; keeping everything independent and isolated from each other.
This also makes backups and rolling back updates to individual projects much easier when you do run into problems.
