What instance is that?
It was an activism one. I contributed to running costs (one off donation though) but seems that they shut down due to lack of funding. It is easy to underestimate how overloaded instances may have gotten due to X collapsing in real time. Think boundaries around numbers are crucial for small instances, so that mods can keep it at least somewhat sustainable. Obvs cost of living crisis etc doesn't help
By this reason ,I have accounts in several servers,in order to avoid overloading and high costs
