agreed! Find it interesting how other popular instances have chosen to turn off signups while we are still chugging along with new people.
Huh, why would they turn off signups? To limit server costs?
They were getting massive influxes of users and wanted to limit that so their servers don’t tank, and probably wanted to give themselves time to plan and upgrade the instance.
