A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Which is what I'm doing, and I store the backups securely, but then there's no standardized way of "Hey the admin is gone, can we take over" ability. I could tell my community here are the backups, but then there's just no standardized way of transferring admin. Idk, I think most things online should have a "Will and testament" type thing. "This passes to XXX"

Google has a way to set a "dead-timer". If an account has not been logged into for x days, it will pass on to someone you have decided (before dying). That can be done here also.

Lemmy is still young, so those scenarios haven't come up yet. We just need to be a bit patient. 😄
