Did you really just have an "instance is dead because the admin hasn't communicated since the holidays began" take? Maybe have a bit of patience, some people have lives outside of Lemmy.
Or if this is such a dealbreaker maybe you should jump to another instance.
I hope the irony of your passive aggressiveness is not lost on you.
And I wasn't expecting a response because there's no reasonable response you could give beyond acknowledging you're self-centered. It's ridiculous to expect someone doing this out of their own free time to be on call during holiday season. And it's borderline hyperbolic to call something dead simply because a person hasn't responded during the holidays. Any response you could've given would've made you look like a bigger douche (this one included).
The idea was for you to have some introspection by pointing out how your comment came across and why it's stupid. If it came across as condescending that's only circumstantial.
