I assume nlnet are capable of looking after their own business, it's none of mine anyway. And from what Ernest has written in the past I suspect that he's lost the grant.
He has made several promises, several times but never stuck to his words. He's repeating his actions again, although it's not as apparent this time as before, because there's less people involved.
Admins is not enough, there have to be people he trusts, with full access to the server, to make sure the community can be preserved
That's why I left. And you too. The difference is, I give it precisely zero thought on a daily basis. Don't let him run your life even after you've gotten away from it. Forgive him even, if you can - not for his sake, but for yours - is what I guess I am trying to say. Also, the community has already somewhat shattered, as people are leaving it? Except I did not delete my account, I simply stopped using it (well, I did make one comment in all that time since), which illustrates how any metric based on user count may not measure the situation accurately (and ofc daily posts can always be complicated by bot accounts).
You could contribute to Lemmy perhaps, e.g. try to help get it to federate with Mastodon instances... or something. And as you said, you already are contributing to Mbin. Those kinds of positive changes (i.e., in the sense of moving forward, rather than looking back) are all that you can do, in the end.
Well, that's my two cents, fwiw:-).
