@tindall This also highlights the question of #instance #succession, sustainability, and accountability. If you're leaning on a benevolent dictator, it works until either the dictator's energy or benevolence runs out.
As Mastodon matures, we're going to see lots more of these situations as folks who spun up instances on a whim/as a hobby burn out and decide to move on. The question will be who takes them over, or what sustainable models folx will migrate to?
