Yeah, i think Lodions a great steady hand on the tiller. For me, i feel like AZ could become the basis for a wider 'fediverse first' set of social media alternatives for Australians. That would take more active growth and discussions and actions on direction in that vein. Lodion has a different vision to me on this projects development, and Lodions the lead on this experiment, and we've hashed that out before.
There are definitely practical, time consuming administrative hurdles that Lodion and Nath have highlighted that a user and cheerleader like me rarely notices, i think this is a key driver behind the non-listing. The only thing i can say to that is there seems a fairly technologically knowledgable and engaged set of people on AZ that might be willing to muck in to support the project in material administrative ways. There are some particular users that i'm surprised aren't admins from the beginning tbh, but thats my 'on the outside looking in' assessment of a situation i don't really know about.
yeah I was looking to setup a piefed instance just to keep touch on how much admin is involved but I can barely commit myself to mod, let alone run a server in my spare time
It must be time consuming, especially due to the constant monitoring.
