@Nocta @osslate @detachedspork @Repealist_ @davey_cakes @conor Cheers!
We actually did stop approving accounts for a bit over the weekend, to give the backend some breathing space, but it's been flying along since.
Agreed, that smaller is better. "small" is an arbitrary number these days, though when it comes to user counts. I'm happy to keep registrations open until we see numbers plateau. Mine is only one of many opinions feeding into the pot now, though!
@dregin
Yeah in my opinion what "small" mean depend on the context of each instance. An instance becomes too big when either:
- the server can't keep up
- the moderation team is overwhelmed and/or burnt out
