Ah, sad to see another fediverse server shutting down. But appreciate that the admins shared their experience, the good and the bad.
“[…] not the amount of work that goes into running this server […] difficult to untangle a situation in order to come to a good moderation decision”
“connected to communities that I wasn’t a part of, and learned their struggles and their joys”

@[email protected] on one hand this is sad for the users but on the other i am glad it’s not sudden. also i’ve seen the toll this takes on the admins and am glad they’ll be free of it
@[email protected] Absolutely!
@[email protected] i was a little bit worried about them honestly
@[email protected] Yeah, reading the blog post, this has been a really rough experience. Very important that they shared this.
Agreed. It was tough to see kbin.run just vanish. And while kbin.cafe’s ultimate disappearance was less unexpected, AFAIK the sole admin there abandoned it without ever explaining why.
