How many times have I personally explained to you that it was the ddos not the influx of people. Every time you find some way to bash on LW and then you come ask for favors?
I'm sorry if I'm misrepresenting the reasons, but in practice what happened is that the largest instance was constantly offline and unresponsive.
Be transparent. You claimed that the instance needed to be defederated based on the mirror bots. Now the bots are gone and real users are coming (like I said they would) and suddenly this is you "making a favor"?
Didn't you ask us to make an exception for your bots when we defederated with alien.top almost two months ago? Special treatment AKA a favor, yes.
Anyway you are always arguing in bad faith, just like when you were trying to spread the message that Lemmy World is too big and bad for the fediverse. It wasn't for the fediverse, it was to push people to your (failing) hosting company. And you are still pushing that same narrative and play dumb when confronted.
Be transparent he says.
No, my exact question was "how many real users will it take for you to stop considering it a bot-instance only".
My argument has always been that having one single instance controlling the majority of users is bad for decentralization. The fact that one of the LW mods can be so petty to the point of holding a block against another instance (when the alledged reasons for the block are no longer valid) is kinda proving my point.
You didn't see me criticizing lemm.ee, or beehaw, or programming.dev, or sdf.org, or feddit.*. None of them were working to monopolize the reddit migrants like LW. But sure, I am the one with ulterior motives.
