In addition to lemmy.world, the #2 real lemmy instance, lemmy.ml, seems to be growing as well.

Our neighbor, kbin.social, has also reached the 40k milestone today.

Wow, what did they say in particular?

[–] KazuyaDarklight@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

More accurately they defederated from lemmy.world due to "concerns" about it's open sign-ups policy and the potential for "abuse".

It was less about intangible "concerns" and more that most of their time spent moderating was from users of this instance and since they're strained on time, it made sense to simply defederate until the necessary mod tools exist to make things easier.

It’s four volunteers dude, they’re allowed to do what they think is best for their instance. This is not their full time job
