@woozle @trurl @mekkaokereke @justinmwhitaker @SDF well, nova had a pretty public quit of administering this instance, but had already set up a team of mods and admins and a nonprofit to accept donations, so I'd say that's another fairly positive example.
It would be nice if more admins would feel comfortable handing an instance off rather than shutting down, but sometimes finding someone to hand off to and doing all of the work to migrate everything over can be a lot of work at peak burnout.

#TootCat is run on a "pay what you can, if you can" model as well. I've been running it that way since the start of 2018, and I don't foresee burnout becoming a problem; it's a matter of being able to nurture a supportive community and (most importantly) being willing to delegate tasks rather than... well, the alternatives.
I've lost count of how many "I quit" admins I've tried to contact to ask if they'd like someone to take over managing their site (temporarily or permanently), and the answer is always* no (when they bother replying at all). ...so I have to say I'm a tad suspicious of the idea that burnout was ever the real problem.
* with the sole exception of TC's owner, back at the end of 2017.

ISO: a GIF search tool that allows copying the GIF itself, or a link directly to a hosted version of it, so I can post either of those directly in to Messages, Slack, GitHub, etc…
I used to use Tenor's GIF Keyboard, but it’s basically abandoned. Same goes for Gyfcat, Heypster, et al… And I get it, it's hard to make money in this space.
Giphy is the obvious choice, but my god do they lay down a bunch of trackers. And it's not easy to copy the GIF itself or get a link to the raw GIF.

This is cool. /r/blind which is heavily affected by #Reddit 's bullshit has created their own instance instead of using a existing instance and creating a community there.

Mastodon FeedWho would want to be a replacement mod for #Reddit? They’ve unceremoniously fired the original mods who spent years contributing to the site.
I assume replacement mods don’t get paid a penny either. Being a Reddit mod now is a sucker job for some greedy ungrateful asshole’s IPO.

@darius I think about the NHS digital design standards all the time, where the standard is functionally "your target audience is a fifteen-year-old for whom english is a second language. They're using a 6 year old android phone that's been handed down twice, and they are sitting in a hospital emergency waiting room trying to look up information in the middle of the most terrifying night they have ever had. Your site must work for that person, at that moment."

Mastodon FeedA case where I wanted to make software reliable, which caused downtime.
In lib.rs, when #Rust had only 20K crates, I've used 16-bit counters for stats. I knew it'll eventually outgrow them, so I've used checked arithmetic and made it panic on overflow, "so that I will notice when that happens".Well, it overflowed, and because the stats were used in so many places now, it basically took the site down, at the worst possible moment when I had no time to make a release.
Mastodon FeedI have #thunderbolt3 dock that maybe once per hour just disconnects all USB devices. DisplayPort continues to work, but everything USB stops responding until I reboot the dock. It's not the first dock that does this to me. Any ideas why could it be?
