It is a good point but are people really joining lemmy.world en mass still and if so why don’t the admins close registrations?

wasn’t yunohost using an older version of Lemmy?

So as a user on sh.itjust.works I’m guility of being racist/bigot/bad faith troll? just by signing up to a particular instance because my last one fell over? I suggest you take a look at your own instances rules particulary: “Do not engage in name calling, ad hominem attacks, or any other uncivil behaviour. Criticize ideas, never people” and “No threats, bullying or attacks on an individual or group.”

As has been mentioned report the user, block them and move on. Imagine if countries reached for nukes at the first sign of disagreement?

I wonder how many of those instances are single user instances and the numbers going up and down so sharply are curious people spinning up instances, getting bored and killing them once they get bored. I’d like to be able to see how much other platforms in the fediverse fluctuate

It works okay for me?

It was good while it lasted and they managed to keep it going longer than my first instance (two days)

Not all instances are created equal however one I tried to sign upto their email verification didn’t work and others just didn’t bother to activate my account for whatever the reason.
