Interesting! This instance had thousands of concurrent users for a total of 33,000+ and was one of the larger instances of usage of the tech. There was no independent deployment of the technology in this case, so, that is inaccurate.

The instance failed at mere DOZENS of simultaneous users. Clients kept retrying and then there were thousands of requests of users who were unable to interact with the instance. I went though the logs in detail. It was a clusterfuck.
As an open source contributor, I submitted the code in 2020 that made it easier to get running with Polis. I find it quite frustrating that you're slandering the project with weird speculations and confusing factual accounts 3 years later, after other people put in the time to improve things. As far as I recall, you never entered a public space (issues, chat) to offer anything, even a formal bug report.

I can't understand why you didn't ask for help in the issue queue or chat. I'm sorry if you had a bad time, but your speculations are a funhouse mirror version of what I understood to be the case.
