This is happening all over reddit.

Mods are posting all over the place saying “I have to bend over for the admins because if I don’t they’ll find someone else who will”.

You do you but honestly I find this a bit weird. As an unpaid volunteer you don’t have to do anything. Just resign. Reddit’s not about to die but it’s best days are in the past. I wouldn’t want to be a part of the future of reddit.

Is this the best place for us though? @Zoe8338@lemmy.ml is the only mod and they don’t seem to be active.

I guess it depends on your definition of “self hosting” but I’m in the process of migrating a lot of my services to a remote vps on vultr. It doesn’t make much sense to have a big, hot server running at home that needs capacity to cope with peaks but isn’t used 99% of the time.

Sharing server resources with other virtual servers is the most significant least pain to benefit ratio action I can think of.

All that will really be left at home is a torrent client and gerbera (upnp) instance which can happily run on a NUC with an nvme. gerbera won’t do any transcoding so the load is negligible.
