Stats can be found here: https://the-federation.info/platform/73 - this site has been hugged to death for the moment.

Five of those were from me. Hedging my bets across multiple instances. Can’t imagine I’m the only one?
Not at all, just started on this one in case my main goes down.
Five?? I just have an nsfw and a sfw one.
Why bother hedging?
As an example, Beehaw just de-federated from lemmy.world and from sh.itjust.works. But since I primarily drop anchor at startrek.website (and since I’ve replicated my subscriptions across all my accounts), I just flip over to that account and still have access to everything.
Oh? Why did beehaw defederate? Does that mean beehaw is cut off from everyone else?
Expected reasons. Federated systems make moderation more difficult, compounded with poor availability of moderation tools on the platform today. https://beehaw.org/post/567170
Ugh, Beehaw denied my registration so I guess just can’t get their content anymore.
Damn, I just assumed they were screening to ensure real users acting in good faith. Didn’t expect them to actually be rejecting people.
I think they’re pretty serious about the last essay part.
