No, mndot, CARS are dangerous.

I quit Facebook when I concluded the cost of remaining (e.g., constant vigilance for unilateral changes in privacy settings) was greater than the benefit.

Heavily commenting my own shell scripts because I empathize with future me who has to figure out what the hell I did.

So in the last month of being a new Mastodon admin I've seen: (1) a popular instance wipe its entire database and (2) a popular instance's operator ragequit and take the server with them.

Definitely an education in mastodon failure modes!

My sense is that the decision to become a Mastodon admin comes with some responsibility to plan for continuity... the broader Mastodon community suffers when there is no plan or a lack of effort to carry it out.
