Just as a general thang
For those running instances:
It's valid to close registrations during the wave if you don't feel like you have the energy to keep an eye out on the flood of new folks coming in
It's perfectly fine to admit that moderation isn't ready to handle a scaled up community and to hold off the growth surge.
It's fine to make decisions to prioritize the safety and rep of your existing community members and take time to vet the new applicants.

Moderating properly is expensive, in terms of energy. Being aware of who is using your services, and being able and ready to have the energy to remove those acting to harm others is crucial to keep your community, and other communities safe.
And if it's too much, it's entirely valid to admit it's too much and take steps to make things easier. it's better than burning yourself out trying to handle everything.
@jaycie Thinking about it, in my case I have always primarily used it as an online communication device, so I wouldn't miss much if I'm on the same services another way.
I'd get really, really bored without any of the access related to it, even via computer, but as long as my loved ones know I'm okay beforehand, it'd not actually cause me any stress
@pisscotheque I'm in this toot despite all efforts to the contrary and I don't like it
@ghost_bird @AgathaSorceress@eldritch.cafe as someone who had trouble with forms being nonsense for the longest time, and knowing others who still do, this is good advice to have and share

@AgathaSorceress Basic rule for forms that make no sense is, if in doubt, tell them what you think they want to hear. And if you don’t know what that is, make it as simple and as boring as you can
@welshpixie Feel free to send the above post to them before blocking if they come knocking again, they can kiss my ass too

@alice@masto.werefox.dev am also a miqo'te gf, love bun 
would post pics but they're on a disk I can't access and also power's out
At some point tusky finally fixed its hardcoded character count. Yaaaay
It's hard when most of the other masto clients are freezepeachy trash so you have very little actual alternative
@alice@masto.werefox.dev oh no no, not at all
I mean big bun-girl precisely as in viera being tall compared to, say, a miqo'te gf
And the big-bun girl thing was just a joke about butts
