This is a very interesting article about the long-term sustainability of the Fediverse for moderators, administrators, and developers. We've already had two of our lovely Beehaw admins take breaks to take care of themselves as they experience the burnout associated with maintaining a community, and I think for a lot of use we already know how exhausting it can be to take a center stage position in an online community.

Unfortunately, I don't have any great starting points for what to do, but at least talking about it is a start.

The constant crashes of Lemmy from performance issues have really been hard on me, because I just don't like seeing it happen to people. It's honestly been the worst web site in terms of stability I've used in over a decade.

Lots of good comments here on this discussion.

man the only stability issues i've noticed is literally minute-long outages on my server and posts about other instances going down without me actually noticing it.
