Yeah, well, maybe if I felt like I wasn’t the only one around here taking a stand against extremism, violent rhetoric, and toxic behavior, things could have played out differently and I could have pushed on.

You probably felt that way, but people working on Piefed are also trying to create ways to mitigate those behaviors.

You can’t place the blame on just having a single admin - that may be one factor, but becoming completely demoralized from the lack of support from most other admins/instances was the real cause.

I get the burnout and burden, but I also understand where @jet@hackertalks.com comes from. It's unfortunate to have to move communities twice in one month.
