    Speaking of, has anyone from lemmy.film explained why it went down? It’s getting frustrating seeing instance admins disappear with no warning.

      I haven’t seen anything. Hopefully nothing tragic happened. Otherwise, there’s obviously a bit of scope for this, for a single admin to just walk.

      I think as communities/instances get to be more of a big deal, we as users should ask for multiple admins and moderators and multiple contact points (eg a mastodon account) so that there are fail safes and clear signals. So, if a single admin walks, there’s someone else with the keys. Or at least if the instance goes dark we have the alternative contact to at least get a signal about what’s happening.

      Yeah definitely. Feel like even Lemm.ee could be at risk, the admin have written once in three weeks. Might be nothing, but does not feel all too safe.

        yea, maybe, but the admin of lemm.ee has been very open and responsible in their administration of the instance. If they decided to walk I think it likely they’d hand things over to anyone willing to take up the reins.

      Expect to see this happen a lot. The benefits of federation also lead to these downsides
