  • I feel like I gently warned about this during the process, relying on an inactive admin always seemed like a bad idea. I hoped it was taken care of and that somebody else was assigned console access but no assurance was provided, no explanation as to what the actual situation was, so I left here for another instance. Turns out my fears were true and I’m glad I didn’t waste any more time here.

    I have no idea why folk were so eager for Tom to turn back up again, why that was a source of any delay, or any reason to change plans for “Quackhouse” once they were in advanced stages.

    I feel like all this has really crushed what was a promising UK community on Lemmy, a double-blow now, and I hope any new instance that appears is well and truly distanced from this one.









  • I don’t want to say anything inflammatory since something terrible might have happened to Tom that we don’t know - but it’s definitely not OK to start a community like this, get everyone on-board and established, then fail to appoint admins and disappear without explanation (even if busy) leaving other people to pick up the pieces, unless there’s a very good reason.

    And to be honest I’m surprised I seem to be the only one saying that - maybe an explanation from him (if appropriate to share) would smooth things over. I was genuinely excited about the new instance as an opportunity for the UK communities on Lemmy to put a bad situation behind us and move on.
