The owner should pass the torch rather than let it die.
The owner vanished and the other Admins miss the ssh keys to be able to migrate it. Also feddit.de had a partially fried database after a disk ran out of space
Seriously, what's up with owners vanishing? Kbin.social, Kbin.run, feddit.de?
Not even a message saying something like "this project is taking up too much of my time, bye everyone."
It wasn't like that. The owner went on a long vacation during which the server's disk ran full, the database was corrupted as a result, and the backup was overwritten with a corrupted state, before the owner returned.
feddit.org was created as a community effort to keep that from happening again.
Plenty of others too: vlemmy.net, iusearch.fyi, lemmy.film.
That's why people should pay attention to a few things when looking for a server
I'm very sad about kbin, I eve told Ernest that I'd volunteer with some admin work and potentially code (even if I despise PHP), but he declined, even when his health went really bad.
The early internet also had personal website vanishing or being abandoned all the time. Static webpages don't need constant maintenance but it's more noticeable when it's a community.
The owner started a new life as a yoga instructor in Pyongyang.
Maybe the owner died before they could oaas the torch ?
Absolutely. I don’t know much about the situation but it seems like the owner had some personal issues and just went radio silent on everyone up until someone made the new instance. The whole situation was definitely mishandled
