@Gargron@mastodon.social try to look at it from a different perspective - you are not giving up anything. instead what you are doing is paving the road for mastodon to continue even if you aren't there for it. I mean, in IT we have this dreadful thing called the "bus factor" which is taking into account what would happen if a sysadmin was suddenly hit by a bus or passed away. Would you rather have your project die with you or would you want to see it move on? This just ensures that it'll be able to continue to flourish without you. It'll still be your legacy.
