Hello!

I'd like to let everyone know about a change in ownership of Discuss.Online. Previously it was hosted and paid for by @jgrim@discuss.online, but he is taking a break from the Fediverse for now to deal with personal issues. He's handed it off to me to host and stepped down as Lemmy admin. When he's back, he plans on focusing on Sublinks. He's done a great job of running and growing discuss.online, and I wanted to help continue the mission and keep the Fediverse stable (RIP lemm.ee). I don't plan on making any major changes for now, just focus on keeping things stable and smooth.

There was some downtime last Saturday during the handover, announced here. There were some further federation issues with Matrix that persisted until Wednesday and should now be resolved. If you see any other issues, please let me know. I'm working on stability and monitoring to ensure everything keeps running well.

@lazyguru@discuss.online is stepping down as admin as well, which leaves us with no other dedicated admins. The other listed admins are from lemmy.world and have done a great job of helping out but can't dedicate their full attention to discuss.online. If anyone is interested in helping out with admin tasks, please speak up! It would mostly involve responding to reports and applications. I'm generally pretty responsive to them already, so it shouldn't involve a lot of work.

Thanks, @m_f@discuss.online
