Nobody notices a bus factor until the bus arrives. What a single volunteer moderator was actually holding up, why nobody stepped in, and the one community that survived by never letting it get to one person.
The signs that a community no longer needs the person who started it, and what happens if that person does not notice. I did not notice.
The same name, the same rules, largely the same people, and after three years it is about something else. The mechanism is small and continuous.
Six years of the actual queue: what is in it, how long decisions take, and why every public debate about moderation is about the rarest cases.
