Hey, so I’m a nobody but I always have something to say and here are some things for you to think about.
Yeah, you’re frustrated and it’s clear that you’re concerned about the health of the fediverse, and that’s a good attitude. Just know that I can’t speak for .world admins, but I might be able to help you understand some of their decisions.
Have you even considered that they’re just trying to organically grow the userbase?
.world is one of the most popular instances, and for good reason. With open registrations, they will come. You know the movie Field of Dreams? He built it, and they came. The same could be said about .world.
Another thought to chew on is the fact that they’re just not able to close registrations at this time.
The instance is being DDoSed to the point of possibly stretching resources thin, and they may have to balance the influx of new users at this time.
At the end of the day, whatever the reason is, sure, the admins need to work hard on creating policies that help lemmy and lemmy.world grow in a healthy way.
The health of lemmy should come first, but in order to stay healthy, admins have to make hard choices, and there has to be a little give and take from everyone, including the users of the instance, not just them.
It’s good to outline your concerns, but maybe next time consider being a little more constructive and looking at the whole picture.
There are a lot of moving parts, and I, for one, am quite impressed with what I’ve seen so far. They’ve chosen the right servers, mitigated serious issues behind the scenes, and above all else, have put up with me.
So, yeah, maybe chill out a little bit and give them some time to work things out.
I’m sure they’re doing their best to keep the fediverse healthy, and I’m confident that they’ll figure things out.
In the meantime, why don’t you go create some content and help build up the fediverse?
