I find this pretty hilarious. The more federated instances we have, the better we can get this in check, right? We can spread the load.

More instances mean smaller instances meaning more people dealing with fewer instances of the spam theoretically making each one have to learn the patterns and how to deal with it, so more instances might well make things worse.
