Should be open soon if the sentiment of the subreddit is followed. Seems like mods/a vocal few are the only ones who want it to stay closed.

OK, I think I've found the instance I'll be using at least for now. Might eventually set one up - if there's an interest in an instance for the community, might open it to people from here who are looking for a Lemmy instance without political baggage.

This explains the sudden influx of flashlight posts on lemmy's "all" page
