This is a very interesting article about the long-term sustainability of the Fediverse for moderators, administrators, and developers. We've already had two of our lovely Beehaw admins take breaks to take care of themselves as they experience the burnout associated with maintaining a community, and I think for a lot of use we already know how exhausting it can be to take a center stage position in an online community.

Unfortunately, I don't have any great starting points for what to do, but at least talking about it is a start.

One solutions that could help would be to have an ActivityPub login standard that would allow logged-in users from one instance to moderate a community on another when given permissions.

That's already possible on lemmy. Not sure about kbin.

That's pretty cool - I wasn't aware of that functionality - makes me want to investigate further. I'm wondering if the basis for the function is within the ActivityPub protocol, or if it's a function built into the Lemmy code.
