I don’t want to be incendiary, but aren’t they just getting new mods? Are the new people going to show up and wreck the place for fun?

1. Make lemmy stupidly easy to prop up an instance
2. Cap users of any instance to 100

This way, no one instance can bloat up to thousands of users and start making a big island.

Then you will need to follow users around other places that they interact. You just get more work creep at the end of it all.
