Lemmy.world: why not focus on stability instead of growth? (self.support)

This instance happens ti be down quite often. Why do the admin doesn't close the subscription and focus to keep the instance stable? It's not like there will be blocked outside Lemmy, there ar plenty of instances out there. From outside (and IMHO) it seems a power hungry needs (sorry,bI don't know if this does make sense in English). This is a question (that I hope will flow to a good conversation), NOT an attack.

From my understanding, the stability issues drive from repeated DDoS attacks. I’m not sure locking new membership solves that problem but does run the risk of starving new members from joining and risking a shrinkage of content.

I’m sure the admins are focused on more than one thing at a time and closing the site doesn’t seem like it makes a whole lot of sense.

There are plenty of instances, that will not happens, it's not a risk.

Still? In an older post of the Lemmy.world admin I've read that other instances behind Cloudflare don't suffer from this problem.

Admins took the same measures.

They are professionals, you are chasing an idea that does not check out — so to speak.

If lemmy.world is behind Cloudflare protection, how can it be down for DDoS attack? Cloudflare should block them before they reach the server.. If the server admin is around, could he tell us if this downs are still for the DDoS attack? (Maybe he already have stated this somewhere) And if yes, why Cloudflare protection hasn't blocked them? I'll write here again: this is not an attack to the server admin, these are QUESTIONS.

I didn't get this sentence:

you are chasing an idea that does not check out — so to speak. What idea?

By the way, I'm here chasing discussion, confrontation, communication that are things that can enrich people. If all of the people that downvoted me would have wrote down their point of view in a constructive way, I think that we could have had a good chat!

They said something along the line when they explained the DDoS. However, they are addressing the issue and there is no need to suppose they are not or in the wrong way.

Your are simply not sparking a vivid, solution oriented discussion. Your self understanding in that matter is far of as you come along as complaining and a little Karen-esque.

In my opinion re-iterating that you only want to discuss this already solved case, does not help that matter and do not help people to sympathize with your cause.
