Thank you (very late, I know). :)
What you said is exactly right, the instance should just always be there and never be down. And users should not be harassed by moderators for not phrasing their posts exactly right, or having a bad day and maybe getting annoyed sometimes. Personally I think that is perfectly alright. We are humans.
Hope you guys continue to enjoy the instance!
People who read Forbes do.
I think large parts of humanity still desires enormous amount of money and are willing to spend their lives focusing on it.
It’s because money gives what people actually want - safety, respect, admiration, power, freedom etc.
