Not OP but I think they just meant it’s pretty overloaded - it’s one of the most well-known instances. “Too many” users can cause problems for the people hosting the instance, so I think there’s been a movement to spread it around so all the eggs aren’t in the same basket.

Breaking news - I’m told that beef stroganoff is still big

Not to diminish the impact that beef stroganoff has had on the world… but beans tho’.

Beans had a resurgence a few weeks ago, and there was also a big surge of posts about beef stroganoff or something, but it all seems to have died down again for the moment.

Yeah, and back in my day it was rock music, and Dungeons and Dragons

Yep, I’m taking no chances - corn me up, snake!
