This is Mur 
Can you add emojis to the instance @trinsec ?

I'm honored but at the moment it would be too much for me, and I'm not entirely comfortable in all of those techs. With some I'm alright, some others I've never used, like docker-swarm.
So far there was never a need for it anyway, and while redundancy in access is good it also adds attack surface so I'm pretty good where I stand!
If the only matter is having someone to add a few emoticons, though, that I could do! 😁
@freemo
For one community I manage I had the same problem.
I have a few stuff written down in case I die, and in there I wrote the instructions to access all relevant places to backup and manage such communities, messages to write to users and some money to pay someone to do the technical stuff, asking please to find a trustworthy successor to take over.
That's what I did instead of entrusting someone else with all the passwords!
Hope it never happens to anyone... but it can happen

Indeed. In reality I have no objection to naming someone an admin just in case. But it would require more than just mastodon admin access, which in and of itself cant really do or effect much. In fact a mastodon admin couldnt even backup and migrate the site to another server, they can just pretty much upload emojis and change a few settings.
What we would need is someone who would have access to our server infrastructure. Right now I do have some people who i pay who have that access in case of emergencies but they arent really part of the community here.
That said if we picked a member of the community to have server access in case something happens to me they would have to know how to administer linux, docker, docker-swarm, and a few other techs we use. They would also need to be trust worthy of course.
I believe @arteteco offered to fill that role once, and he has been around since the inception of the server, so I would trust him in that capacity. I guess it depends on if he would want that responsibility and if he feels he has the technical knowledge to carry it out.
