@supernovae@universeodon.com @jdp23@indieweb.social @maegul@hachyderm.io Sad to hear about the lack of any response from the admin. Thing is, that's what a burn out looks like.

Shame, because handing off the instance is the most obvious thing to do. That there seems not to be even engagement on that front indicates just how little of an admin community there is, in their mind at least.

On top of creating and fostering an admin community, maybe there should really be some public conversations about what it means to be a good admin, which, IMO, would involve first and foremost not being a solo operator, but having a team and organisation of some sort with some degree of connectivity or sourcing from the instance's user base. For those new to the whole thing, it'd be nice if there were resources or admin specific community channels you could get onto for guidance etc.

I hope there's just this sort of maturation phase the whole thing needs to go through, because the story is getting out there of instance refugees forced to migrate because of closures etc.
