Nice, what is this k6qw instance about, though? So many users and just 1 community without any posts?
It does seem a little out of balance. We should ask @[email protected] how/why they're personally reviewed 38,000 email-less sign up statements in under 7 days and who they think is populating his server (according to one of his posts from a week ago).
(not sure my tag syntax was correct.... maybe @[email protected] autolinking works?)
I mean, this just stinks of bots. This made it real easy to at least spot them. All those signups and not a single post? I agree with the notion of contacting the instance admin. They may be completely unaware that a swarm of bots signed up on the instance.
