    why do people choose it over other instances?

    Non-techy people want a big instance, but .world goes offline too often and .ml doesn’t allow new sign ups.

        They closed sign ups during the early days of the migration up until recently. I just missed the moment they’re open again since I’m not interested in large instances.
