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.
