EDIT: we just crossed 30K ๐Ÿฅณ


We are now at 28.5K users (see https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/list). The top 10 instances also got a decent boost in user count. With the exception of beehaw.org which defederated, the Fediverse is thriving ๐Ÿ”ฅ

Well if I didn't understand that I'd not be on this instance now. I just didn't like how they did it with 0 warning when those instances were increasingly a big part of my Lemmy experience, and they could have just asked for people to volunteer as mods. Regardless of how I feel about it, the reason it's damaging is because of how people who don't understand it will view it.

But if you're not on their site, they're not responsible to you. They are responsible to their local community.

They maybe could have spared your admin the courtesy of a "if you can't control this right now, we'll have to defederate" email or something, but if the tools aren't there to keep up, they're not there.
