Could we get an introduction into who the new team lead is, what their experience is, and maybe some info on the rest of the team? The current repo owner has no information and has only ever worked on Mlem with this user account. Not exactly confidence inspiring from afar.

Great to hear that there is a dialog open between the admins. Hopefully it is all sorted swiftly. Federating with all of the large instances is important for the continued growth of the platform.
Appreciate the transparency and update. This definitely eases concerns. Thanks!

Spez is just trying to get that bag and run.
Yeah I never interact on Reddit but I love the idea of helping build the community here.
An absolute mad lad
Would be kinda fun if you could switch between views
And then they wonder why advertises are avoiding the platform.
Constantly.
Competing platforms are scary!!!

I’m also on gmail. Haven’t had any issues with it, no real desire to change.
