We recently received a message from a concerned Rammy user regarding their instance not having an active admin team.

We have made attempts to contact the Rammy admins, which other instance admins have tried as well, to determine their current status. Due to their admins being absent and their unmoderated content growing in numbers, we will defederate from Rammy. If and when this situation changes, we will be happy to reevaluate our approach. It should be noted that any instances that have abandoned admin teams will be defederated.

I host my instance in my house on my old PC. I'm going to pay my power bill either way. It actually autopays. So if I had a medical emergency and couldn't do my admin duties, my instance would keep on going for a very long time.

I don't have any users on my instance other than me, so I don't need to worry about this specific thing. But paying the miniscule amount of power that my server consumes would be trivial.

What's the benefit of running your own instance?

In my case, the major upside is that I make federation choices, not someone else. I prefer to be as openly federated as possible.

Hi bilb, this is blab. I just wanted to say thank you for your approach. You run a wonderful server.

I appreciate that. Always great to hear from you, blab!
