If they join to use local, and it works well for them, why would they switch to a smaller instance?

[–] BMO@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

My guess is to distribute users more evenly across instances. Mo' users mo' problems.

They should switch to smaller instances to help distribute the load and avoid situations such as this one when LW is probably attacked because it is the most populous server.
