Thanks for the reminder. Just added a standing order. It should be executed late in the month. I started low, but i could slightly increase it. It would be nice to read an update on the situation maybe ins 1-3 months?
I think it would also be a good idea if you don’t shoulder everything alone … Single point of failure and all that. You could think about which tasks ypu could (partially) delegate to other people in order to have less workload.
It would make sense to setup a roadmap for ypu maybe? I don’t think it’s healthy to have administrating take up so much space that you cannot work another job.
Let us know where you might need support :-)
And thank ypu very much! I quite like it here!

Thank you very much! I will try to update if there is anything notable happening - usually a post like this from me or by users, causes a spike in donations that goes away quickly again. It would be amazing if this one was an exception. :)
I totally agree with the busfactor part. The thing is tho that I do not have real life contacts that are skilled and trusted enough to help. However there is @thomas@metalhead.club (even tho we sadly don’t know each other in real life yet), who actually has emergency access to some of the tchncs servers already. We really need to complete this, however one reason why i struggle to prioritize this, is that bad things already happened in the past when i granted admin access to a supposedly trustworthy person.
My issue is not tchncs in particular, at least i’d like to think that… i am trying to figure that out, however, tchncs is something that happened organically over 10 years at this point. It’s the result of me discovering Linux and selfhosting and is practically my self-teaching journey. Everything like the remaining part time job and clients, all that came after or/and due to tchncs. It truely is part of my identity and i couldn’t give that up easily.

Yeah i din’t think of complete (=admin) access. Maybe that’s a good thing to keep to oneself. There could be an inheritor which would gain access if ypu would abandon the project.
But regarding lower level administration (blocking stuff, checking that rules are followed and all that - things that take up most of the time of an administrator working in social media) could ve delegated maybe? Similar to reddit moderators of subreddits. It would be nice to have transparancy of which moderator moderates which other communities.
Maybe you could think of a way of finding some people in real life that could be a promising candidate.
