Like, has an instance gone down and if so, why hasn't there been a comparable drop in users and comments?

Edit: Thanks to @[email protected] here for pointing to zerobytes.monster becoming more aggressive against bots as the likely culprit.

Aha! Checking back a week or so later, glad this was actually solved!

"I felt a great disturbance in the Force...as if millions of posts were routed to dev/null and were suddenly silenced. I fear something terrible has happened."

@[email protected] decided that he doesn't need his alt accounts anymore.

Please don't compare me to a Reddit mirror instance 🥲

Ah, so that's what zerobytes.monster is?

I think this is zerobytes.monster, one of the reddit mirror instances.

the post count fits and it also matches with the user count not significantly dropping.

that instance has been using rather strict waf blocking rules from time to time that likely also affect the crawler for fediverse.observer.

I missed your reply weeks ago, and I know upvotes are worthless, but you deserve most of mine from this thread =P

Its been a long time since I have actually seen crowd sourcing actually work in a non exploitative way to solve a problem, be productive.

Yeah, I thought it must be a Reddit repost instance, thanks for pointing to the right one.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

No, I’m positive universal monk has no friends
