Largely the same as if they just disappeared and stopped logging in. The community would become abandoned and unmoderated.
Reddit had a system where you could request banned or inactive communities, Lemmy instances don’t usually have this, instead requiring you message that instance’s admins directly.
Or a whole server just vsnishes like kbin.social. Account, crested magazines, participation in the fediverse…poofed out of existence in an “instance”.
Same happened with kbin.run. Glad I set up an account on another instance before that happened.
I used to be a kbin user, then I stopped cause it didn’t feel nice on mobile. I come back a few weeks ago to find it that it no longer works. Shit sucks
kbin.melroy.org is a good replacement
I think, in an instant.
I believe it was intended as a pun
I did this once. The community stays without any moderator. Instance admin can assign moderators if needed.
Bertrand, is that you?
They generally go unmoderated until someone steps in to take over, or if the community gets abused it will be locked until someone steps in.
