Yes, it's a manual process. You put in a request and the admins get to it when they have a chance.

I'm guessing but I put in what I thought happened to the magazine owner over at https://kbin.social/m/AskKbin/t/771954/Questions-about-community-ownership-moderation-and-succession - in short the first admin (ernest here) becomes the new owner is my guess.

Same here. I've been trying to find the time to do this for a while.

Interesting. I'm looking to run my own single user instance, so this is something to keep in mind I suppose.

Also, specific to the role of Speaker, he’s disqualified due to having been indicted of felonies with a term of more than two years.

This is great to hear, regarding the live API on artemis.camp

or prison for the chump you suckered into cheap labour.

I'm not seeing the 'or' bit. The article says the driver was already sentenced to nine years back in 2019. So it might be prison and deportation.

It also says he was a new permanent resident when the crime was committed. I'm surprised how they can so easily deport someone who has PR.

allow this situation to happen and all its gonna be is a civil fine for you

Alas, this is the real problem. And this case/hearing isn't going to affect the precedent on that, it will only affect the precedent for the future chumps.

Reddit's approach to replacement mod appointments has further damaged community trust in Reddit

Interesting that an article owned by the holding company of reddit (Arstechnica and reddit are both owned by Conde Nast) would be so critical of reddit.

The one thing I never understood is why did the Oliver subs go back to normal instead of sticking with Oliver. Finally, interest was lost in the Oliver jokes and traffic was going down. So it would have been the perfect time to enforce Oliver and cut into the ads traffic that way. News articles at the time didn't show any indication that this was another moved forced by reddit admins so why did the mods seemingly cave in without cause?

Following. Would love to get some peertube recommendations.

Thank you @ernest for all you do and all you have done!

Absolutely do not want to see you run yourself into the ground over kbin matters, your family and your health come first.

I don't question your judgement, but I think the "step down" bit is a bit extreme, even if you fail to meet the deadline. Worst case, maybe let the community appoint a second-in-command temporarily to get some things moving along while you take a well deserved break?

David Weber’s Honorverse and Mother of Demons by Eric Flint both come to mind. There is also the Little Fuzzy series by H. Beam Piper.

Edit: Also, The Legacy of Heorot by Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle.

Honorable mention also to Dragons Egg by Robert L. Forward (humans start out more advanced in the beginning but get surpassed) and the Uplift Storm trilogy omnibus (or books 4-6) from David Brin (humans aren’t the most advanced in the entire universe but are in the planet that the stories take place on).
