I’ve noticed today that world@lemmy.world hasn’t had any new posts or comments for about a day now.
However when I go to https://lemmy.world/c/world in the browser there’s way more activity.
The post when on feddit.uk https://feddit.uk/post/2700378

Yeah I thought this might be the case. It’s possibly a little pre-emptive unless there’s a bunch of feddit.uk users who are causing trouble and it’s just easier for them to do this, but it’s a bit shit that we all lose access to one of the biggest instances because they can’t reach our admin? They mention there’s other instances too, I wonder which those are.
I had noticed that Tom has been very quiet recently, we could definitely see if he’d be open to allowing more admins when he’s next around.
As far as I’m aware there haven’t been any major trolling incidents (unlike some recent additions to that list) and it seems to be largely down to having a single, currently inactive Admin.
It has been raised with @Tom@feddit.uk before but, obviously, this has become a bit more serious and urgent. I’ll do what I can to contact him.
There was the CSAM incident a few weeks back. It’s no wonder that instances will be cautious of other instances that have become unresponsive and lacking in moderation.
It’s a shame that people didn’t take Tom’s disappearance more seriously when it was first raised. Especially as there are concerns for his well being.
After his last quiet patch, he said that there would be more admins the following week but nothing happened. That’s one reason why people were concerned for his well being.
From what I recall he was in the process of moving house, so maybe it’s down to that? Either way, I hope he’s OK.
he’s been quiet for the last 2 months, no response to any messages i sent :(
i hope nothing serious happened
