Some will cheer, some will be mildly disappointed. But I'm out, I think.

The instability is definitely a sour note. I don't disagree with your choices at all, for the record. I just feel like this format is probably better suited to being run by actual organisations, rather than loners with weird motives.

If there was a nonprofit org (or god forbid, an employee owned company) that ran a link aggregation platform, I'd see that as far more sustainable in human terms. It takes sysadmins, active moderators whose agenda is actually aligned with the mission of the platform, and dance commanders like you (is that a good word for it?) to bolster engagement and build community.

Just thinking out loud here, I'm not trying to talk you into anything or whatever. You deserve some extra free time.

Hosting instances by a nonprofit org definitely seems like a good idea, it's why after feddit.de happened feddit.org is now in the hands of the Fediverse Foundation

Yeah, I agree. Institutions running instances would be much more reliable. Unfortunately, we play the game with the cards we have, not the cards we want.
