My post was removed as astroturfing. It might be an idea to try and understand meaning of concepts before blasting them around. You will find wikipedia, and many other reputable sources, helpful in this quest. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astroturfing

My question was a genuine one born out of deep frustration. The name of this community suggests it is for such questions, but what do I understand.

By the way, what’s wrong with you, mods?

        I mean yeah, that’s pretty small. Not even in the top 10, probably not even top 20. I see you’ve posted to communities on .world too so I’m kind of confused what the issue is.

          We’re usually somewhere around the top 20. I think we’re currently 21st by user numbers, 22nd by MAU. I’d usually class us as medium-sized, but as l.w is as large as everyone else combined you can really only class them as large.

            Seems like the “us” here is just you, and I haven’t backpedaled at all. Feddit.uk isn’t .world even if it doesn’t fit your definition of small.

              Lol?? You did backpedal, you literally reduced your qualifying metric within one response my guy, I’m sorry but your credibility is gone lmaoooo and furthermore you think instances are small if they’re not the same size as .world??? It’s the largest instance by over 100 thousand users LMAO every instance would be small by your (new :/) definition! Ha ha ha this has been fun

                You will never get an answer from the mods of that instance.

                That instance being .world

                I recommend creating accounts on smaller instances instead.

                Feddit.uk is smaller than .world, ergo they already fit your suggestion. Ok I’m done, seems like you are being willfully obtuse.

                  I’m saying that Feddit.uk is NOT a smaller instance, even though it’s smaller than .world. All instances are smaller than .world. You didn’t read my last comment? Sorry but I don’t have time for trolling so I’m going to block you without reading your next comment to make sure you’ve read this one. Have a day. 👋
