It’s a hobby forum, not a hospital dispatch line.
It's a service used by the public.
If it were just a single-member instance that hosted no communities it'd be one thing, but slrpnk has some decently-important stuff on it. That creates some amount of responsibility on the admin's part even if he isn't getting paid for it.
Are you familiar with the concept of volunteer burnout, and are you aware that your current behavior is exactly what causes it? Right here in the fediverse we’re losing lem.ee to burnout, for example.
Nobody is remotely at risk of losing life or limb because slrpnk is down for a little while.
Instance providers and admins don't owe you anything.
All I'm saying is, if you don't want to have a responsibility to the community, don't set yourself up for people to rely on you. That's your choice to take on that commitment -- but once you've made that choice that's what it is, a commitment.
Just to be clear, I'm not mad at poVoq/Kris, who has a very reasonable attitude about the situation. My initial comment giving feedback to him was very mild.
But no, this attitude of people like @ayyy@sh.itjust.works and you (@tfm@europe.pub), that instance admins can just let a bunch of people sign up and a bunch of communities to be created and then just shut it off without warning if they want, and that's perfectly A-OK and 100% ethical to do, is bullshit and absolutely deserves to be pushed back on!
You need a break from the internet dude. Your behavior and outlook are troubling.
So basically you think that I'm obligated to spend my money and time for the rest of my life to provide you a free service once I've started one. People like you are the reason why instances like lemm.ee shut down. Expecting the best service for nothing and be the loudest when something you don't like happens.
Clearly someone who has never seen the dedication of the flight sim community. Those guys would put all of us, hobby service providers, to shame.
We have backup admins, but this seems to be an unexpected hardware issue, and physical access to the servers is more restricted.
