• On certain parts of the tchncs infra, an emergency-co-admin already got access, I should prioritize this more so that it also counts for the host lemmy runs on. Other than that, unless something happens to me, there will not be any surprise shutdown of service. In the highly unlikely event of a planned shutdown, there will be at the very very least half a year time for users to move to other instances.
  • The donation situation for tchncs is … fine, at least for securing cost coverage excluding my time. If cost cutting is required (which luckily has not happened yet), I of course try to prioritize on actively used services and try saving on services that are wasteful in terms of user/needed resource ratio. Something like peertube perhaps where terrabytes of video only get a handful of views.
• Only instances that seem dedicated to lawbreaking/extensive rulebreaking content or unmoderated instances overrun by bots will be blocked. And ideally only if there is too much or risk of too much exposure to our instance, causing too much moderation effort required. There will not be an instance block against instances where I dislike people or similar (there are quite sensible admins in the network tho that would act like that or similar, sadly). If we have an instance on the list, that does not seem to belong there, I am open for reconsideration.

And note: I keep trying to do whats best for the community. I am always open for ideas and opinions. :) If i don’t respond to something, it is very likely that I once again failed to manage my inbox and tasks. 😅
