There has been a big spike in growth over the last 2 days, and some rather suspicious new instances appeared out of nowhere with thousands of new users, even though there is close to no activity in any of them.
Could all those be bots? Would it be smart to block those instances preemptively?
I think at least some of us are reddit refugees. I found this place by following one of the mods from r/skookum here.
Same for me (from a different sub). Lots of ex Reddit users seem to look for a new home.
