Since the site has been down for all but a few hours of the last week, I’ve really wanted somewhere I can get a little information about what’s going on.
Is there a mastodon dev account, or an off-site blog or even just a community on Lemmy?
We can see Ernest’s posts on Mastadon but he hasn’t posted anything in a couple months.
Didn’t he have some sort of health issues a while back? I hope he’s okay, and that includes not being overwhelmed with growth and burnout. Is he also employed? Need family and rest time, sometimes. RL takes precedence.
ETA: it’s possible malicious actors gained control. I’m not saying that’s what happened, I’m saying it’s possible.
No, there’s no other communication avenue. Ernest posts to his kbin account.
I started considering hosting my own instance for private or limited use. Any thoughts?
It can be very expensive in terms of disk space usage.
Can’t upvote or boost you, we’ll see if I can reply, because I also want updates.
