I'm going to miss lemm.ee.
-
It was great while it lasted, and I thank those that ran it. A breath of fresh air after initially being on an instance that decided to nanny its users by defederating from instances for no good reasons.
I have a backup account on sdf.org, so I'm now using that as my main instance. Thanks to those who run it.
Yeah, SDF is a good choice (and a very interesting org in its own right)

Isn't the whole point of lemmy is you don't "have" to monitor it with admins?
i think the point is that there is no single lemmy server - so if you want to put in the work and set up a server you never check up on, yeah sure whatever this isn't legal advice.
But also, if people wanna set up a space that bans the most obnoxious behavior while cultivating real conversation, they can do that too.

Tell me about it. My JSON file with all my settings won't upload, so l have to start over, day one.
You should probably ask about this in !home@lemmy.zip

what do i do now i only use jerboa how do i change instances
Go to https://lemm.ee/settings in a web browser (I'm not sure its in jerboa), and export your settings.
Make an account at lemmy.zip or lemmy.cafe, go to settings there, and import the settings file.then, log out of jerboa, and log in with your new account.

I really liked lemm.ee because it didn't defederate from the radical socialist and communist spectrum of political speech.
But the other issue with a bigger instance like lemm.ee going down is that as long as communities can't be moved (including users and content) to other instances, the lemmy project will fail. Because then only centralization in a few big instances is viable, and those big instances are going to become valuable and sold to plutocrats.
That's a disturbingly good point.

Can you explain why Lemmy.zip or Lemmy.cafe specifcaly?

unless its coming from .ml, hexbear or lemmygrad. the comments cant get annoying.
With .ml you can sometimes still have a good discussion. Maybe because the community is so big. And not everyone who joins knows ml stands for Marxist-Leninist.
But those other 2 are chock full of extremists.

Rich coming from a .worder
You mean the biggest instance that is still federated with close to everyone?
There is a reason for that you know.

I'm sorry but the best is dbzero. Lemm.ee was a damn good instance too though

Yeah, because they're the one that tries the most to be exactly like Reddit, so all the Redditors end up there.
-
I'm in the same boat. I do not like defederation. So where do we go? Any other instance with the same openness? I don't know details about instances, but I know I'd like to avoid .world though.
.ml is basically federated with everyone

I hope you're not calling tankies radical socialists or communists. Because .ml et al are authoritarian instances, not lefty.

I think it adds to our mystique that not even our regulars can spell it correctly

The lemm.ee admin is a shit hot developer though, his instance was generally more robust than all the others, and he helped other instances when they had various problems. It's a shame he wasn't the lead lemmy developer, although I'm sure he doesn't have the time for such a big undertaking.

I always saw those two as something like far left indoctrination camps where people learn and practice astroturfing techniques.

NOoooooooo
lemm.ee has been hands down my favourite instance, it's genuinely depressing that it's going.

I interact regularly with "those ml" instances and don't meet any (or not many) of people like you describe. I do believe it's mostly rumors, propaganda, cherry picking and liberal prejudice against socialists.
Do you still know what is real? The principle behind freedom of speech is about hearing dissenting voices that might tell you a truth that the mainstream won't.
In case you're curious, I also believe "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" so I often support or at least not condemn countries like Russia or China or Iran in their fight against the authoritarian US Empire. I'm a realist, pacifist and materialist, we already know what the regime change sought by the US will do to the people in "shithole" countries.

Yeah but like who's gonna get mad if there's no corporate to report to. There's no ad space to sell. So you are spending energy moderation to what end?
I'm just trying to understand the setup I guess. I just assumed people started lemmy to get away from over moderation on reddit. I been here since the api crackdown on reddit.
Legal authorities operating in the host country will not be thrilled if you have an instance filled with csam, and all sane users will also want to be heavily distanced from it. The latter applies to any content widely deemed objectionable, not just to illegal material - which makes the motive for moderation pretty reasonable IMO. If the moderation for a instance doesn't suit the users, users and communities are free to move to an instance that better suits them, and this does happen. It's a strength of the fediverse.
