Seeing the instance as infrastructure is what I want to see more of
Yes, exactly! A good manager to me is the one that is just focused on solving the problems that are on the way of the rest of the team.
Comment on What's a good instance to be on at the moment?

Lemm.ee’s lead admin had exactly the type of philosophy towards managing this platform that I want to see in wherever I go next.

Fingers crossed, but we also know Lemmy might not be ready for that type of philosophy. I mean I still don't know what exactly happened, but lemm.ee wasn't successful in the end. And the underlying issues are still there. So the next admin team might face the same dynamics.

Unfortunately that philosophy led them to close down their instance due to burnout, so maybe it’s not exactly a winning one 😅

I beg you, please take care of yourself if it’s needed, take time off, relax, get help from others. I think you have a philosophy to not take money out of the donations, but speaking as one of the contributors, I think that’s unfair considering the amount of work you put in.
What I’m saying is just do what it takes to not let it lead to burnout. I don’t think anyone that understands the value of this instance would mind.

I’m not close to burnout but thanks for the concern. I don’t run my instance like lemm.ee does for a reason ;)
