You mean blocked instances right? AFAIK an instances “blocked users” is not published in aggregate. You’d have to comb through the modlog.
I think this carrying on without providing more information is reckless. Does an actual admin from this instance really know what happened or are you just taking a bunch of random commentary and speculation as gospel then telling the users "we're good."
They are still acting on it, seems.
It doesn’t matter. Most of the work is happening on the instance, regardless of where the script is running.
It retrieves the last 10 posts and adds the community reference to your local database. It is the same as putting "!community@instance.com" in the search box and clicking search. The retrieval happens whether you look at the results or not.
They look like average size dictators to me.
Dispel some misconception and help you make the choice: I run an instance that gets updates from everywhere and (because of the way activitypub works) it’s a stream of < 0.5 mbit average. Yes, that could double for every doubling of users, but it’s a far cry from the overwhelming overload of data people think is being federated.
Technically no. Any user could. I wouldn't recommend it though, as it will subscribe you to every community.
Is there a bot for polls?
Correct. All also includes communities fetched but not subscribed to, however these are more like stubs. They are in your database but not being updated with activity since no one is subscribed. At least that’s my understanding.
Media takes up space. The text from posts and comments is trivial. The database for lemmy.world is only 25 GB. Wikipedia text is only 21 GB.

So I guess if I want to pay for my VPS with crypto I am a criminal? Good work cyber sleuths, you solved the problem!
This is the hosting equivalent of racial profiling and this firm in Texas should be ashamed. It is not good cyber security work.
At best they’ve identified something everyone else already knew and witch hunting Cloudzy (even if they are 100% malicious,) provides zero value.
