Like a beautiful phoenix, you rise again from the ashes!

Welcome back

I keep thinking voice comms until I remember the kids are trying to be cool.

Aaaargh, I can already feel my power waning... All these moments will be lost in time, and so on.
On a lighter and more serious note, though, thanks to all the admins and mods that made this ride possible. You are the best.

A couple of guys couldn’t handle a few troll messages? Sorry, if we want an independent site, away from the hands of venture capitalists, you’re gonna have to tough it out and deal with a few nasty messages.

No they aren't. Clearly they don't have to, as they are in fact shutting the instance.

They're providing a service, as volunteers, for free, and asking nothing in return. By definition they get to set the terms on which they do that, and it is astonishingly selfish for you to expect them to do so under conditions that are clearly untenable, and blame them for this outcome when they cannot continue.

No. If you want an independent site, away from the hands of venture capitalists, you should've stepped up and volunteered to admin when they needed help.

This is my first time hearing about this.

No, because most of the other instances are probably more prepared.

ive been called to hexbear. i hear there are owls

I think my new instance won't appreciate me migrating FuckableCars here...

Nice, good luck with the migration! I'll be keeping an eye out where to subscribe

admins got burnt out from stress, and yes its also due to the significant uptick in trolls, and propagands spreading, hard to control all of it, with no automatic filters, like reddit.

yea the purges from reddit, accounts for the sudden jump in users. and many of them were indiscriminately banned, plus now you have the increase of the trolls.

not really, lemmyee was more defederated, so it allowed basically anyone. the other ones have blocked off some of the problematic instances. ,ML, hexbear, grad users were all becoming too common recently i had to block them.

i went on lemmy today, and considered .ca even if im not a canadian. i made one for world, but dint realize they blocked alot of the nasty instances.

they are fine, .ml, hexbear and lemmygrad has thier space for them. the problem is there were operating from there and trolling on lemmyee.

its not a few troll messages. most of the admins couldnt be replaced, i suspect moderation isnt thier only problem.

Unfortunately lemm.ee has been short staffed for mods for at least a year due to high turnover/burnout. The very thing that appealed most to me about lemm.ee, that it was still broadly federated and thus offered a truer fediverse experience, ultimately led to its downfall. ️

Is there a tool for comparing Lemmy instances in regards to their federation policies?

The whole thing made me paranoid so I made accounts on multiple instances.

Oh no.
Please.
Don't go.
