@Wolf480pl hm, alright

@Wolf480pl does*

@Wolf480pl I think it would, yeah. But it's harder because the cold turkey approach hurts users in a way more immediate way when abandoining a hosted service than when abandoning an open-source project. The open-source project doesn't go away when the maintainer stops working on it, but the hosted service generally doas. But, the development of community-led moderation and administration leading up to a clean hand-off would work great for admins with the patience to. Maybe I should write a more generalized article on approaches to sustainable volunteer efforts on hosted services...

@Miaourt @kaniini I didn't say manage your emotions with the goal of not having them anymore. Manage your emotions with the goal of being a healthy human being

@Miaourt @kaniini I am not describing apathy

@Miaourt @kaniini you have to not fall into the trap of refusing to recognize human falliability. There are fairly obvious triggers which adversely affect your emotional state and ability to be rational, be aware of them when you are rational and plan around them. If you manage your stimuli you can manage your emotions, but you have to acknowledge that the stimuli causes the emotions and at a fundamental level you are not entirely in control.

@Miaourt @kaniini by not treating it like magic, because it's not.

@kaniini I disagree, you can budget/plan for this too.

Also before someone accuses the pot of calling the kettle black

I was once making similar mistakes with respect to sustainable services, see e.g. MediaCrush & KerbalStuff. Learn from my mistakes, don't make them yourself.

Can we please start a trend of planning and provisioning our services with sustainability in mind
