Damn, what happened?
Admin that had access to the server went AWOL in October and now the server has died.
If I had a nickel for every Lemmy admin of a big instance who went missing I would have two nickels.
twice
Which isnt a lot but its weird its happened twice.
Weird
What isn’t a lot but it’s weird it’s happened twice
Next the domain name will be for sale for like $2500. lmao

What means the Term "AWOL"?
Absent with-out leave
Edit:
Realizing I should add more 🙂 means they left without saying they were leaving or when they'd be back. Term is namely used in the military iirc
AFKWOL
It’s “absent without official leave”, meaning they don’t have permission from the chain of command to be absent from their post (which is literally just wherever they are supposed to be).
It’s not a matter of saying you’ll be gone and when you’ll be back, it’s a matter of having official permission to be away from your duties (aka leave). They won’t get you for it for being off-base in your free time, but if you are off-base on THEIR time, then you are AWOL. You can also be AWOL without actually going anywhere, like if you are sick and stay in bed without contacting your superior, or medical for a chit, very likely considered AWOL .
Ey, that makes even more sense :) thanks!
I was assuming "AlWays OnLine"
This clears up some confusion
Absent Without Official Leave
I didn't know this.
Damn, is there anyone who could get it back online?
From what I know, no unfortunately.
Hack the server
