Join smaller instances, they don't do that there
I wish I could find the post/comment from a small instance admin that said it quickly became a nightmare trying to moderate without a team, and people were filling their drive storage with white noise files and crap, needing to be purged twice. I believe they even mentioned they were shutting down the instance and it being a cautionary tale of why not to join a smaller instance.

Thank you so much for finding it! This is it. It really sucks that it has to come to that.
I read the exact comment you just quoted. Iโm not sure either who it was but I could check if I answered to it :)
But anyway, Iโd be down to help if anyone needs help. I already told the admin of my instance that Iโm game.
Any recommendation? I don't want to accidentally sign up on some right wing instance etc.
my instance is pretty cool, but i think it would be better for you to find an instance that's tailored to your hobby/past time.
