Update: I contacted with current big owners, other older friends and lastly from some friends from here. Mostly all of them living in US so they don’t want/can’t host it. So I’ll keep hosting without being on moderation side. @[email protected] will post about details I guess. @[email protected] is the new top admin.

As you know, it has been 2 weeks since I opened the instance and it has grown quite a lot. Likewise, the time I have to devote to this work has increased a lot.

I'm dealing with lemmynsfw more than my IRL job right now :D This is bothering me. Also, having an NSFW instance instead of a normal instance makes things much more difficult. If you remember; I had my biggest scale fuck up with the post "we allow loli content" :) This situation wore me out. Also a lot of problems are bothering me, both as a software and as a community.

That's why I'm thinking of transferring the instance and the domain to a person I trust. Who can maintain the deployments and also know this stuff. I will also roll over any donations made, excluding the current month's expenses.

I'm sorry if I've upset anyone. That's all from me.

The JS patch was deployed for a very short time (remember when the NSFW box was showing checked but wasn't? Yeah). Any further development seems to have been done on the Lemmy code itself, under different tags (not branches)

Lol I don't think I was here yet for that, but that makes sense. The other part of the patch was lazy loading content which I think was merged into the core codebase? So it makes sense that most of that was eliminated.

Still, I was hoping to see more adjustments that would pertain specifically to keeping content moderation easier given the inherent difficulty this instance faces
