TLDR: The main reason was Lemmy hogging server resources.
Last year, during the Reddit 2023 API controversy I finally deleted my account and moved on to Lemmy. Here’s a look at my experiences and why I eventually decided to switch to PieFed.
The only software through my servers have ever been owned by scriptkiddies were poorly written PHP software, specifically WordPress in my case.
It’s just a personal preference because I’ve been burned too many times.
I’ll grant that PHP is set up to allow some super shitty code, but on fairness to the language; WordPress is a dumpster fire (compounded by endless awful plugins). That’s compounded by it’s ubiquity, so it’s a massive target.
I just set up mbin as a single-user instance, and other than a bug I found (that they fixed live with me, in chat, including PRs), it’s been awesome.
I hope your instance continues to work well for you 👍
