"We'll meet again. Dunno where. Dunno when."

to be fair, in my experance outside of .ml .ee was one of the least toxic general instance around, and I am worried .world the most toxic one I experence, will grow

Sir, you took the words right out of my mouth when read the news

oh no an instance literally indistinguishable from just like plain fucking reddit is gone, whatever will we do

anyway,

One of my only gripes with the instance was it's refusal to defederate yours, and y'all over here celebrating the closure after the admins took that stance really just affirms how wrong that decision was.

Looking forward to moving to an instance that is free from your shittiness.

Go back to your reactionary smilie echo chamber where you belong.

Lemmee just say you shouldn't be throwing stones with that glass ass server you got there. Weren't y'all down for a minute?

you

can

just

go

wqhats the matter hexbear user, not good enough for your circle jerking chambers.

ee shouldve blocked the triad of exremism. ml, hexbear, lemmygrad.

Hexbear as a community was never going to leave. We almost lost our domain due to some silly bullshit but thankfully it didn't happen. Even if it had though, we were just looking at a name change, maybe becoming hexbear.ml (or something like that) or possibly rebranding as some other name entirely. But we were never just gonna cease to exist like it appears lemm.ee will.

That said, I am a little sad lemm.ee is going. It may have had its share of asshole users, but there were(are) definitely some cool people on it too. And whatever anyone can say about it negatively, lemm.ee is a hundred times better than fucking .world. My god THAT instance is a cesspit. .World is vehemently, aggressively trying to be reddit 2.0 along with all that implies including amplifying everything that makes reddit a shit website and corrosive lie of "community." Lemm.ee may have had its issues, but if nothing else, it was a solid alternative to .world and that alone is enough to make me sad to see it go. There are even a couple users on it that I hope to see make an account on hexbear and plenty of others that would fit on .ml or one of the the other more generic instances.

Edited to fix typing mistakes.

Seriously, why not just stay on reddit, or (same thing) move to .world? If manually blocking things that are shocking to your precious little sensibilities is too hard for you, there has always been other places that pander to echochamber-seeking dorks like you.

what's the matter liberal, fraught with the million choices of identical places to slava ukraini

Lol, you people were so toxic you made an entire admin team quit, hope you all go to lemmyworld so you have the same effect on them

Trying to lecture me when you have no idea how instance blocking works is pretty on brand.

Welcome to a tutorial on how to block .ml on your personal account.

In the top right corner of the top of the page, there are 3 horizontal white bars. Click it.

This will open up a drop down menu. At the bottom of that menu, you will see your username. Click it.

This will open another drop down menu with 3 options. Click “Settings”.

At the top of your screen you will see 2 tabs. Click the one that says “Blocks”.

Here you will see “Block user” “Block community” and “Block instance”. Click the down arrow below “Block instance”.

This will open up a search bar. Type “lemmy.ml” and click it after it shows up.

That’s it! You’ve blocked .ml and will never see content from the instance. Now you don’t need to complain and beg your admins every day to defederate from .ml and other instances you disapprove of. Think of all the time you will save!

But wait, we aren’t done yet in this menu. Click the down arrow under “Block user”. Now type “UltraGiGaGigantic”. Make sure you select my .ml account as the other ones I no longer use. Thanks, appreciate it.

Wherever you guys migrate, please stop concentrating the userbase around lemmy.world, that's exactly what we're trying to avoid with Lemmy to begin with. The best thing you can do is go to https://join-lemmy.org/ and choose a server that's not in the top 10 or so. This will also help avoid things like the admins/mods burning out
