I mean, this beautifully shows that this comic explicitly doesn't apply to the fediverse. Since everything else continues to work. The fediverse as a whole remains unaffected.

Right? This is just about as wrong of a meme as you could possibly choose for this.

Bernie Sanders meme. He's standing outside in a jacket, facing the camera. Text: "I am once again asking to bring back lemmynsfw.com

I promise I'll acquire some bucks to donate too 😇

I'm sorry everyone. It was me. I recently found out about lemmynsfw and may have overloaded the server.

Glad I'm not the one having to deal with your insatiable needs - especially now.

Admin that had access to the server went AWOL in October and now the server has died.

[–] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 151 points 2 months ago (8 children)

If I had a nickel for every Lemmy admin of a big instance who went missing I would have two nickels.

What means the Term "AWOL"?

[–] bravesilvernest@lemmy.ml 99 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (2 children)

Absent with-out leave

Edit:

Realizing I should add more 🙂 means they left without saying they were leaving or when they'd be back. Term is namely used in the military iirc

[–] ButteryMonkey@piefed.social 77 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

It’s “absent without official leave”, meaning they don’t have permission from the chain of command to be absent from their post (which is literally just wherever they are supposed to be).

It’s not a matter of saying you’ll be gone and when you’ll be back, it’s a matter of having official permission to be away from your duties (aka leave). They won’t get you for it for being off-base in your free time, but if you are off-base on THEIR time, then you are AWOL. You can also be AWOL without actually going anywhere, like if you are sick and stay in bed without contacting your superior, or medical for a chit, very likely considered AWOL .

there should be something in the lemmy admin interface that reminds ppl to have a co-admin or give someone who they know admin accounts, to keep their legacy alive when they go missing

So now comes the big question. With it gone, are there any other replacement instances to…. fill that niche?

It's a Valentine's day tragedy.

[–] SorteKanin@feddit.dk 50 points 2 months ago (3 children)

As an instance admin myself, I'm so confused... If you went through the effort of setting up an instance, the effort of transferring all the access and stuff to someone else would be nothing. Just seems super weird to disappear without a trace and without handing it over to someone else.

[–] Cube6392@beehaw.org 51 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (6 children)

the lemmy nsfw admin had previously asked if anyone was willing to take ownership of the instance because it was too much mental overhead to moderate a space that could sometimes get dicey and be legally liable for what was hosted on the server. there were no takers. the fact that this admin has been silent leads me to believe that this was not an active choice and instead something away from the keyboard led to this, be that legal, personal, or mental concerns that took priority over something they already felt no one would take on based on previously asking

See @ada@lemmy.blahaj.zone's better explanation of the situation here: https://piefed.blahaj.zone/comment/3354654

I could just imagine someone's wife finding out:

"Are you telling me that all this time, you've been running a porn site on the Internet? And you don't even make money at it?"

That would be my last day as mod.

What happend? I can still see some posts on them?

[–] Rentlar@lemmy.ca 51 points 2 months ago (1 children)

So, what happens when a lemmy server goes down ungracefully (so unlike lemm.ee that made a proper shutdown and closed most communities), the communities stay as a localized version on each server it had connected to, at least last I checked. You can post and will see posts from users on lemmy.world but no one on any other server can see your posts, because the community server was supposed to distribute them. So it becomes more like an archive.

Ethically spanking it just got more difficult. I want to jerk it to those who want to share

[–] picnic@lemmy.world 38 points 2 months ago

Oh, with that instance federated browsing lemmy felt like good old times browsing reddit before they banned porn from /all.

This is really a sad thing.

[–] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 36 points 2 months ago (8 children)

You should still be able to see the content from your instances. For example: [NSFW] !boobs@lemmynsfw.com

It appears the image server is still running. The main admin is AWOL so if anyone wants to archive the content do it now.
