The numbers do speak for themselves.
While it’s not huge, compared to reddits numbers, it’s a massive boost to lemmy. A lot of those leaving are more likely more active users. It’s bootstrapped Lemmy into a viable platform. It now has a critical mass of users to generate content.

It’s not a hideous summary. The video is, itself, very much a blitz summary of current events.
The raspberry pi thing is a smart arse comment on twitter cheaping out on their hosting. It’s hard to find enough raspberry pis to replace the Google cloud service.
There should be next to no difference in content. In theory, de-federation could lead to a difference. E.g. if lemmy.world de-federated with someone, feddit.uk would still be able to see and interact with it.
In practice however, basically the same.
