Nova(🤍 Nova) PSA to Fedi admins: If you're going to have an announcements account that is not monitored for DMs, please consider linking one or more personal accounts of your instance's moderation team!
My system occasionally checks on instances for activity from their admins (simply because we're on fedi and are neurodivergent 
), and there have been times where we found instances with announcements accounts or personal accounts of instance staff that show no signs of activity (last post is more than a year old), which is bad if an instance is open-registration. We have seen open-registration instances with no visible activity from staff become infested with spam bots as well as CSAM, so we personally put possibly-abandoned instances up for review by the rest of enby.life staff, especially if the instance is a public instance (more than 50 active users per month).
