I'm going to miss lemm.ee.

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

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

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.
-
oh no an instance literally indistinguishable from just like plain fucking reddit is gone, whatever will we do
anyway,
So why did you guys federate with it?
-
isn't there like 26 more days to go?
Yeah, but there's no point in continuing to use it at this point.

It will be a truly sad day if hexbear disappears. It's nice to have all the toxicity in a single, easily blocked instance.
I'm joking of course, ml and lemmygrad also need the same treatment.
-
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
.ml is way more toxic than .world.

I'll be honest i don't get what people differentiate so much about instances. most of the time i don't even notice what instance people I'm talking to are from, what instance the community in browsing is from, what instance the meme I'm viewing is from... is it about the software you're using that you're so aware of these things?

If your display settings don't show the full username, there's no way to tell really. Voyager and Alexandrite show then by default. I think people just like to root for teams inherently and the interinstance drama is kind of fun.
If you're on Lemmy a lot you start to recognize people and their main instance, there really aren't that many of us. -

To me, it's mostly how an instance is ran. How it makes its decisions: defederating or not, and with whom, how they handle complaints, how they handle bans, etc. makes a difference in both the communities it hosts and its members.
There's also the matter of user culture. Some instances, like Beehaw, Lemmygrad, and Hexbear are known for a certain user culture. Some users might steer clear away from certain instances because of that perceived user culture.
And then there's the issue of defederation stance. It might not be readily apparent, or affect your user experience in a big way, but for some users, it's a factor. This is also where lemm.ee made its mark. It basically used defederation as a last resort, and some users were drawn to that.
