YMMV, but it's not too difficult to engineer a basic system insure high availability. Redundancy is reliability.

Any inherently competent community would require same.

If you think <99% (or 99.99%) system availability is acceptable, your understanding of current web capabilities is severely lacking.

Donate the equipment then, or the money for it, if it’s so damn important to you.

Or start your own site. Nobody is holding you captive here.
