Comment on Welcome to Lemmy.zip

Hi, I’m thinking of maybe creating an account on lemmy.zip.
What I read in the legal docs looks promising. I have one question however: I do not see a proper imprint at lemmy.zip . Is the site and the domain privately owned? Not in a foundation or anything? If yes, are there plans in place in the case of the site owner stepping down from the project? Like transfer to another admin? Or could something like on lemm.ee with a closure happen as well at some point hypothetically?

Hey! They are privately owned yes (by me) and currently not in a foundation - donation amounts have never really warranted the cost or complexity of setting anything up.
However, all admins have a level of access to the backend of the site, including SSH, Cloudflare, Hetzner etc. so that the site can be maintained even if I were to vanish.
If I step down, there is sufficient technical knowledge (and equally as importantly, admins with the right ethos!) to keep the site running and to take on the ownership.
I do have a plan to move things into some form of non-profit/community structure when it becomes warranted. That does mean doxxing myself though, so I’m holding off until necessary :)
