David Harrison 🇨🇦@stephanie @erin @EdwinG The simplest take, and the one I am defaulting to, is that it’s hard to see how Chad will have significant time for the instance in the near future given everything that is happening, and that alone is a significant concern. Even that is a reason to make some changes to protect the instance, and he’s been silent on that.

erin@Bowreality @david @stephanie @EdwinG a very valid point. His most recent post this morning will give you his answers on that I think.
@erin @Bowreality @stephanie @EdwinG Agreed, and while I can understand his approach (I would probably do the same), it’s not good for the instance and the community there.
A better approach would have been to at least temporarily hand over the top-tier role to someone else, even if migrating the instance to other hosting doesn’t happen. Instead, it seems like uncertainty for mstdn.ca users will continue, which will likely push other people away.
There’s a real risk of a death spiral.

I don’t know where we are in this convo since I’m just catching up. But replying to David and BowReality to say absolutely not good. I also noticed he deleted his long winded post from earlier today about how distraught he is, yet without any acknowledgement about how the instance might be feeling. Felt tone deaf and lacking accountability for the future of the instance. I don’t know if he truly gets the gravity of it all.

@erin I just noticed he erased the posts as well… the post from this morning was indeed inappropriate. Also, he seemed to ‘promise an impossibility’, in the current state of things.
