Sounds like progress, but please consider using a term other than "whitelist" when describing a list of allowed values. While the use of blacklist predates references to black as a race, allowlist is a reasonable alternative that doesn't reinforce viewing black as less than or unwanted and white as allowed.
You might reach out to https://indieweb.social/@dries. He's talked openly about some of the challenges his project has had scaling and less openly about how personally he takes it when he can't solve problems with the project/contributor community. Drupal is a very mature community that has been able to foster a lot of trust between longtime contributors. What you've accomplished with Kbin already is amazing. Give yourself time to figure out how to delegate in a way that works for you. Focus on finding the right people and process over an arbitrary date.
The legal representation of the voting machine companies are a box of pupies compared to the big pharma lawyers. IANAL, but this sounds like textbook defamation.
I didn't delete my account and still read https://www.reddit.com/r/drupal/, but I only comment when I think the user would have better luck posting to https://kbin.social/m/drupal or https://kbin.social/m/php. The Kbin version of the Drupal community only has 50 subscribers, but some articles get the same number of upvotes/favorites on Kbin as they do on Reddit now. Drupal users have their own Mastodon instance at https://drupal.community/ and the founder/lead of the project is active on https://indieweb.social/@dries, so it doesn't take much to convince that community to move the conversation to an open, ActivityPub based platform.
