@itorres it's not the first problem with the way fosstodon manages its community, and not the first time the owners/admins decline to (a) acknowledge the issue and (b) take responsibility for making a bad decision.

it is also grossly irresponsible to allow to grow an instance to such size (60k users overall, 8k active users) without taking care of the succesion of management; accidents and health problems happen, and if the instance is not just a vanity project, the admins should have worked it out at some stage.
