Of course I have one or two other accounts, but I personally like Lemmy.world. They serve as a necessary stress test that shows the devs and admins how to optimize further, and I just like learning admin practices at this scale of a userbase from a work perspective. Plus I don't want to be on an instance so small they can't or don't know how to handle compliance stuff and evaporate if something like that comes up. Not saying I know how to handle all of those situations, that's the job of someone else at work.

you should see how many of these big servers were (and still are) running their instances as 'root'...

I specifically stopped trying to grow my instance to focus on security and sysadmin back-end administrative infrastructure.
