Update: I contacted with current big owners, other older friends and lastly from some friends from here. Mostly all of them living in US so they don’t want/can’t host it. So I’ll keep hosting without being on moderation side. @[email protected] will post about details I guess. @[email protected] is the new top admin.

As you know, it has been 2 weeks since I opened the instance and it has grown quite a lot. Likewise, the time I have to devote to this work has increased a lot.

I’m dealing with lemmynsfw more than my IRL job right now :D This is bothering me. Also, having an NSFW instance instead of a normal instance makes things much more difficult. If you remember; I had my biggest scale fuck up with the post “we allow loli content” :) This situation wore me out. Also a lot of problems are bothering me, both as a software and as a community.

That’s why I’m thinking of transferring the instance and the domain to a person I trust. Who can maintain the deployments and also know this stuff. I will also roll over any donations made, excluding the current month’s expenses.

I’m sorry if I’ve upset anyone. That’s all from me.

      The law doesn’t actually care about hosting as much as some people think that it does. The law cares about whether you are providing the material, and whether you’re hosting it or not is often immaterial to that question. To what level linking or embedding something counts as providing it is something that you don’t want to have to have your lawyer argue before a judge, because sometimes it’ll go your way but a lot of times it won’t, and either way you’re going to be paying your lawyer bajillions of dollars.
