All my nudes gone.

As an instance admin myself, I’m so confused… If you went through the effort of setting up an instance, the effort of transferring all the access and stuff to someone else would be nothing. Just seems super weird to disappear without a trace and without handing it over to someone else.
the lemmy nsfw admin had previously asked if anyone was willing to take ownership of the instance because it was too much mental overhead to moderate a space that could sometimes get dicey and be legally liable for what was hosted on the server. there were no takers. the fact that this admin has been silent leads me to believe that this was not an active choice and instead something away from the keyboard led to this, be that legal, personal, or mental concerns that took priority over something they already felt no one would take on based on previously asking
Well if that is true, then that’s completely fair. If they looked for someone to take it and nobody did, then there should be no surprise that it is gone now. You can be sad about it but not too sad, you should’ve just taken up the charge yourself then.
I could just imagine someone’s wife finding out:
“Are you telling me that all this time, you’ve been running a porn site on the Internet? And you don’t even make money at it?”
That would be my last day as mod.
If they were actively losing a lot of money on it that could be a valid reason in itself, couldve added up as they scaled up storage
They had two admins, only the first of which had the keys to the castle.
Ah! Thank you for the clarification. I’m glad you always know what’s going on in the metafediverse
seems like this is what happened to Lemmy. ee too, nobody would take over some of the instance administrations.
They could be dead. Or imprisoned. Or just not interested anymore.
I mean there’s a high chance it also got ransomwared.
Sad day for the platform
Piefed.nsfw hosted in Finland when?
Someone show me how… And buy me a decent computer to host it.
Tell me this is a joke, tell this is a lie! Tell meeeeeee!!! Noooo!!!
Oh? What happened?
Its server went down
The admin has not been seen for a while; something has probably happened to them
Still waiting
What happend? I can still see some posts on them?
So, what happens when a lemmy server goes down ungracefully (so unlike lemm.ee that made a proper shutdown and closed most communities), the communities stay as a localized version on each server it had connected to, at least last I checked. You can post and will see posts from users on lemmy.world but no one on any other server can see your posts, because the community server was supposed to distribute them. So it becomes more like an archive.
It’s also hosted behind cloud flare who will present cached pages if the source host is offline. So web visits still might show stuff until the cache expires.
Well what am I supposed to do with my erection now?
Surely your username can clue you in~
stick it to the man? 🤭
Damn, what happened?
Admin that had access to the server went AWOL in October and now the server has died.
The sheer risk of running NSFW servers in this post-OSA timeline, I wouldn’t be surprised if they just homer-simpson’d into the bushes, and waited for it to all be over.
I didn’t know this.
What means the Term “AWOL”?
I was assuming “AlWays OnLine”
This clears up some confusion
Absent with-out leave
AFKWOL
It’s “absent without official leave”, meaning they don’t have permission from the chain of command to be absent from their post (which is literally just wherever they are supposed to be).
It’s not a matter of saying you’ll be gone and when you’ll be back, it’s a matter of having official permission to be away from your duties at all. They won’t get you for it for being off-base in your free time, but if you are off-base on THEIR time, then you are AWOL. You can also be AWOL without actually going anywhere, like if you are sick and stay in bed without contacting your superior, or medical for a chit, very likely considered AWOL.
Going AWOL is often a court-martial offense, and often results in a dishonorable discharge, which is right up there with a felony conviction insofar as the impact on your life long term is concerned.
Ey, that makes even more sense :) thanks!
Absent Without Official Leave
Next the domain name will be for sale for like $2500. lmao
Hexbear flashbacks
I did some rough math on this and that would be the least of the worries. The cost of hosting a nsfw instance would easily be $500-$1000 per month.
Which leaves me wondering if part of it going down was funding.
If I had a nickel for every Lemmy admin of a big instance who went missing I would have two nickels.
What is the other admin that went MIA?
@wintermute@feddit.de
He was the admin of feddit.de. I think he went on a work trip to SE Asia and was never seen again. First technical problems troubled the instance until nobody paid for the server and domain anymore. Now the new feddit.org is governed by a non-profit with multiple admins.
Which isnt a lot but its weird its happened twice.
Weird
twice
happened
it
What isn’t a lot but it’s weird it’s happened twice
Admins going missing and their instance disappearing
Dicks out, boys.
Can I use my clit or do I have to find a dude?
Por que no los dos?
The only one I pull my dick out for is harambe.
Don’t you dare not capitalize the late great Harambe’s name #neverforget
👈🍆 🍆 👉
Good, no need to call the volcel police on you people
Just realized she’s saying do not come
It’s a great emoji and a solid reminder that ICE would still be gestapo’ing if she were president
You see she isn’t oppressing me personally so obviously she’s the far better candidate
Tap for spoiler
/S
feddit.de all over 💀
Another admin lost to North Korea
My thought as well :(
Nooooo, don’t say its name!
I mean, this beautifully shows that this comic explicitly doesn’t apply to the fediverse. Since everything else continues to work. The fediverse as a whole remains unaffected.
Right? This is just about as wrong of a meme as you could possibly choose for this.
(unzips) Well, time to start posting nudes everywhere. Just doing my part…
Just make sure you have your consent.
Good bot

I promise I’ll acquire some bucks to donate too 😇
I don’t know where to share my tits now :(
Hey.
Nice tits anyway
With us, your dear friends of course.
Not gonna lie, I immediately checked your post history… and I’m not disappointed. That’s some quality content friend

Username checks out
there should be something in the lemmy admin interface that reminds ppl to have a co-admin or give someone who they know admin accounts, to keep their legacy alive when they go missing
Or maybe something stronger than that? Like not making it possible to federate unless there’s at least two admins? Or having some automatic fallback when servers die, so that their communities don’t die with them. Feels like a gamble otherwise, putting in the work of building a community when it’s this fragile…
