Lemmy.world down, probably following the upgrade. A reminder to move to smaller instances for a better experience

Please come to lemmy.today if you like a small fast instance with no downvotes.
Also federates with all other instances.
I don't understand the appeal of no downvotes. Do you really think it's a good thing that trolls, bigots, dangerously wrong answers, general assholes, spam, etc can't be downvoted? I won't pretend downvotes aren't misused sometimes, but their existence is critical for quality control.
Edit: wait, I just saw you post in another thread as an "enlightened centrist", so I guess that explains it.
@Blaze @1984 Federating with ALL other instances isn't a good prospect either...
Thanks for sharing this. Do you have a second admin for your instance?
It's not my instance, I just use it and like it. The instance lists only one admin. Is it common with several?
With very small instances (less than 100 members), yes, it's usually the case.
The main risk is the admin disappearing overnight, which already happened in the past for some quite big instances (vlemmy.net)
Fair point and I would assume the admin is open to sharing responsibilities once the instance grows. Can ask him. :)
