I think lemmy.world is too large for the health of the fediverse. A nasty incident which takes it down permanently could “kill” Lemmy as a whole. Perhaps a sign up stop is in order.
The fact is, lemmy.world’s size is already actively harming the fediverse and it’s quite annoying. No one said to “kill it” just stop it from growing even more

Attitudes like this are much worse for the health of the Fediverse, IMO.
A popular instance with users and content? Kill it immediately, we can’t risk people actually using the Fediverse.

Instead of blocking sign-ups we can have Lemmy’s sign up automatically recommend other servers.
Another developer and I already have a PR in development for it.
Here’s the idea in more detail: https://lemm.ee/post/2800726
Wonderful compromise, love it. Thank you.
