Hi everyone- one of our admins @arteteco **has not been active since 3 months.** If you're asking him question- I suggest not to...
I was asked to ask arteteco to get my nextcloud activated here and realised after 2 months of no reply that he's not responsive / not there. So if you're waiting on that admin it's not looking good for a reply...
Things like this are perhaps small but does save time to say it to people / announce it even when annoying people (those who remember) tell you 'He's not been active for 2+months' and 'why are you sending me to him when he's not using responding?'
I wanted to get NextCloud account and if you too are trying then right now maybe it's not possible.
Any other feedback let me know if you're waiting for stuff or not being answered.
SUMMARY:
a) Don't message @arteteco -
Use @freemo @Sphinx @khird for admin work
Maybe NextCloud or other accounts right now... not sure
b) Something isn't right with people that don't answer repeated asking of things but are totally friendly or efficient in what they do want to answer and are responsive, but still leave things outstanding and to add up. I think I never liked this even if it's a modern normal it's hard for me to accept as even a basic service level depends on it.
I reserve the right to change this a bit and also to say it's not end of world but for me this is a common thing about comms to remember stuff and admins to treat it as their mission too...
selective answering is not really an accident from clever people, so I do wonder sometimes "why didn't freemo answer that, I wrote him 2+times about it"
I literally have had to remind over and over and a list had built up / which can make me look demanding... but yes it's been made known so no big thing but important to know.
JUST KNOW if you let things slip people don't just go away and will even remember their own list of asks! and even add to it!
Progress is there to be made... and it's with good people here I think which hopefully more can help out with. That's my feedback.
Freemo wanted to chat and then it just wasn't mentioned when we would do that. I have to let it go but it's like how much do you value what a person says if they are going to do that often (say something and then 'oh no sorry but I forgot or didn't have time for weeks'.
It is hard work )if really community is an active one because it's test 2-way comms and daily life... it's not just machine account maintenance, distance stuff etc)... which maybe admins don't calculate or even test their patience but it's their own miscalculation too... people not just machines!
Future work i(f really things are going to be community and not just 'user') means we will have to figure a way. And by no means is it bad here... just saying we are pushing another kind of tech (ourselves?)
P.S
I wouldn't want to be admin either (lol),,,
but maybe to help I could be moderator (audio talks - people taking turns making points), keeping time, note taker, secretary or 'a not-forgetter' and 'frisbee-chaser' or something like that! Give me your work ! Examples here:

Anything I can play role in like that I think will make things better ( add more work but it's the right work because it's between the people). So I'm happy to take feedback from people... peer-to-peer as well as the mostly 1-way blogging I'm honestly reading less now as it's kind of entertainment also! - so to really convert this from freespace to being something more than just news... we need direct comms...
Get in (direct) contact...
