If we’re being brigaded (that the correct term?) doing so may be less work/stress than waiting to get a hold of someone. Can Lemmy do such a thing? We do have precedent for this with toobnix.
In addition, @SDF if your plate is full I’m sure many of us, myself included, would be happy to help manage the instance.
Cheers
Count me in as well. I know the spirit of SDF is being a truly public computer, but on such a public computer they have made this instance, which has been defamed. There are those of us that really believe in the the educational etc. benefits that the non-profit brings are worth more than the defamation that this instance may bring. To be clear, unpaid admins can have an incentive to go rogue. I would be willing to put in effort for very little, but still paid, which at least would publicly declare that I have incentive and encouragement to curate this instance in a way that the community will actually care about.
If they make the Instance SDF memeber-only that doesn’t prevent people from joining or make it that less public. Anyone can become an SDF member, $1 or €5 to join is very reasonable and likely something anyone can afford if they want to, it’s an inconvenience enough to deter spammers and assholes though.
