I’d settle for just having the hair.

I think Jmakin is the man for the job and if he wants backup, someone else on as root, I’m happy to do that and I think SP is as well.
As far as my crazy ideas, they are probably too crazy, but Kroshopkin basically has open enrollment. Seriously. It’s a wordpress site now, but I want to roll my own for experience in react and portfolio if for no other reason. And if anyone is interested in that it doesn’t have to be web development/tech, it could be business development or whatever.
Google Ads are terrible and there support sucks fing balls. Glad there is a happy ending to this story.
Sorry been taking a little while on this. I was on staycation the last 2 weeks, and I also wanted to let this percolate in the community to see where everyone’s comfort level is at. I have been made admin on this account and it looks pretty much unanimous over a decent number of users, and I want to say thanks for your vote of confidence.
I modified this post slightly to keep a numbered list of stuff there is to do.
I have done steps 0 and 2, I believe. @simplicitus, what is involved for step 1 as outlined above? We can handle it in PMs.
Steps 3-4 I will handle today.
Step 5,7,8,9, I may need a little coordination with @zikzak.
Step 6: Working on it
Random issue: Now that I have admin, I get notifications when posts are flagged, and I can see user notes, as well as a lot of other stuff. Is there a way to disable some of these? When I am browsing the site as a user, I don’t really wanna know about any of that stuff, because it may color my perception of some users here in a way I don’t think is really necessary. I also like, don’t wanna be able to see y’all’s emails or IPs and stuff unless I actually need to be able to.
I think @anon46587892 has a separate admin account. Maybe we can do it that way? That way, when I am just browsing the site as a user which I will be 99% of the time, I won’t see any of this stuff. Just an idea. I have an alt account called @defnotJ that could be used for admin.

Yea, they don’t bother me or anything, I just see an opportunity there to see stuff like, who is reporting who’s posts and how often, what the moderation decision was, etc. I feel like since moderation has been such a hot button, drama laden topic, and given my propensity for being involved in drama in the past, I think being largely in the dark about that stuff would be good, lest I feel some temptation to weigh in on these topics in the future with knowledge I feel doesn’t belong to me.
Idk if that makes sense. I just dont really want to know about this stuff, because it could possibly change how I feel about posters other than just reading the words they write, which is how I prefer to judge others on here.
Basically I want to remain as much a normal user of the site as possible, while still being able to perform admin functions. The mod stuff/notifications seem like stuff I largely do not need or want to be worried about barring some very unusual scenario.
Another thing: i notice i am able to edit my posts like WAY after I should be able to. I am a serial post editor, I absolutely do not need this power.

You could take control of the admin account and use that one whenever you need to do admin stuff. It’s already associated with the admin@unstuckpolitics.com email address, which you will soon take over as well.

Perfect, that should be sufficient.

Totally agree (from a lowly plebe).
I’ll have to check up on how to do the domain access thing. PM me regarding what you need if it’s more than indicated in the post above.
Basically you need to give him the same access you gave me, then presumably revoke mine.
Aye, a bit tied up today and i’ll have to review. I think you went over the steps with me in pms. Is there any need for expediency?
Not particularly. I can actually make the one important change myself and then you can change access permissions whenever. It’s unlikely anything else will need to be done with the DNS records for the foreseeable future.
There is a user who has me blocked (it’s mutual) that expressed some annoyance last night that they can see my posts now, because admins can’t be blocked. I was worried about this. Seems even more obvious to me after that my main posting account should not be an admin one. I am going to de-admin this account and take over the @admin acct to fix this issue.
also, step 3), 4), and 5) are done now.

Alright this account is no longer an admin. Anyone who has me blocked should not be seeing my posts anymore. Sorry about that.
Another positive about not having my main account admin - I browse and shitpost while I’m a little buzzed, and there are some scary motherfucking buttons on the admin mobile that seem way too easy to accidentally press.

We’re gonna take care of some things tomorrow morning but very soon he should be released.
I may have some questions early on, but I think for now I have basically every permission I need to do the job.
