I have been made the lead admin for the site. We are trying to figure out a feasible situation for staffing to prevent burn out and evenly distribute content administration across time zones.

I'm so grateful for what you guys do, and I'm glad you guys are planning things to avoid burn out. I work as a developer, and know from experience that management that relies on "heroes" sucks. No heroes!

Right now, as lemmy expands, we will be having a temporary pause on specific niche content that may potentially risk our instance being defederated. This is not permanent, and we have no personal qualms with such content, but we need to make this choice until mod tools improve and make sure that we aren’t flooding /all with stuff that might cause issues for other instances.

Even though I was "defending" scat here, I think this is a sensible stance. Lemmy is in its early adopter stage and there are going to be growing pains.
