This has been pinned a few days now. Site health was pretty dire with several long outages.
But subjectively in the last 48 hours things seem to be great. Noticeably responsive and login and activities haven’t missed a beat.
StatusPage.io still looks very red though… Is the worst now mitigated?
Thanks to the stirling admins (and friends) for their work on this. Vive la Lemmy.World!
Seems he didn’t want to give up what he saw as his personal trophies and mementos. A physical cache proving that he was once president with access to top secret information, that he can brag about or leverage for self-gain. He’s used to always getting his way, or negotiating a favourable ‘deal’, burying those occasions which fail. A lot of his actions are difficult to rationalise as a normal person.
