I did eliminate all the possibilities I had at hand.
The only one that offered some hint at a solution was not related to this instance, and was not demanding to know my instance beforehand.
The stated reason given to not close registrations fails any smell test.
perhaps negative repercussions for both this instance and Lemmy as a whole.
AKA, “we are too big to fail”?
I’m too old for internet drama and I think that if we want the fediverse to win we need to be a lot more mindful of the collective and avoid tribal thinking. But honestly, this shit with lemmy.world is starting to get a bit weird. I mean, the lemmy devs were recommending from the beginning to not have overly large instances, yet the admins here kept ignoring this and hoarding more people. What is the endgame?
