@nvk @jb55 The fact is it's very valuable to have an easy on-ramp to Mastodon. Like I say, it doesn't have to be perfectly decentralized to be a big improvement; perfect is the enemy of better. I'm sure people here would be willing to take the problem off your hands (modulo funding, I'd be willing to take it over).

@pete @nvk yeah I don't disagree with what @nvk is saying, but people are still new to the fediverse. this will harm decentralization because non-technical people will just leave here and sign up to larger hubs.

at least we can educate here in the meantime. your call though, but I don't see the harm in passing admin to someone.

@jb55 @pete @nvk Maybe you guys could set up an alternative server for people to transition to? That way someone who might have decided to trust @nvk with their personal data but wouldn't trust either of you, can take their account elsewhere.

@kekcoin @jb55 @nvk The only personal data is DMs and metadata like IP addresses. I think it's fine to just give people a heads up before transferring operation/trust to someone else.

@pete @jb55 @nvk Sure, it wouldn't be that much different from what you'd be able to see if you were made moderators. But still - this way is more permissionless.

@jb55 @nvk IMO even having 100% on one Mastodon instance is still better than Twitter, and I say that being one of the very few who has my own personal instance.
