Hey everyone

We’re really sorry to say this, but lemm.ee will be shutting down on June 30, 2025.
What you need to know

As of now:

New user registrations are disabled
Creating new communities is disabled

What you should do:

You can export your settings at https://lemm.ee/settings to take them with you to another instance.
If you’re moving to another instance, consider adding a note to your lemm.ee profile with your new username. Your old profile will still be visible from other instances even after we go offline.
Alternatively, if you want to delete your lemm.ee profile, now is the best time to do it, so the deletion can federate out before we go offline.
If you’re one of the folks supporting us with a recurring donation, please remember to cancel it (Ko-Fi donations should have been cancelled automatically already). Our leftover funds are already enough to cover our bills for next month, so we can keep things running without any more support.

Because of how Lemmy is built, everything posted on lemm.ee will still be accessible from other instances, even after we go offline.
Why this is happening

The key reason is that we just don’t have enough people on the admin team to keep the place running. Most of the admin team has stepped down, mostly due to burnout, and finding replacements hasn’t worked out.

The sad reality is that while there are a lot of great people on Lemmy, there are also some who use the platform to attack others, stir up conflict, or actively try to undermine the project. Admins are volunteers who deal with the latter group on a constant basis, this takes a mental toll. Please understand why our admins chose to step down, and be kind to the admins on whatever instance you decide to join.

We know this sucks. We’re genuinely sorry it’s ending like this. Thank you to everyone who spent time here and helped make it better.

– lemm.ee team

... Maybe.

Hey! Can you double check its not in your spam folder?

If there's nothing, then please send an email over to hello@lemmy.zip, include your username, and we can have a look for you!

While you’re there, it could be nice if you could answer my email

It’s been 3 weeks now

I usually see the same people on

• !casualconversation@piefed.social
• !television@piefed.social
• !movies@piefed.social
• !fedigrow@lemmy.zip

That is a very normal bio you have there.

The modlog is quite something too: https://lemmy.zip/modlog?userId=19172645

I boarded the ship just mere months ago. It was a fun cruise while it lasted. Gentlefolk, it has been an honour scrolling with you. 🫡

I would be using mbin if it wasn't for the feeds. It will be a good chance to check out instances that block others that I normally have to by hand. lemm.ee definitely was not the instance for that, but not that I'm complaining.

That’s entirely related to the reason I posted the comment above so… yea

Obviously the reason I want to reach out

Apparently not agreeing with specific subjects about sports and transgender athletes is transphobia, despite science backing up the fact that a debate can take place. When feelings and opinions are over facts and debates, you end up with this mod log and the blahaj instance

I’m not going to start the debate again but you’re free to check the comment history, modlog, search studies, and you’ll find out I’m not bullshitting and Ada, v4ld1z and her team is pushing misinformation for the good of transgenders, but still misinformation.

You also got temporarily banned from lemmy.zip, so it's not only Blahaj

Already found a new home.

Yea, by v4ld1z - I mean their bio tells you enough as well

Thus the reason I want to reach Demi but they don’t give a fuck

Probably busy with something else, or agreeing with @v4ld1z@lemmy.zip decision.

If you're unhappy with Lemmy.zip, feel free to change to another instance.

Piefed Voyager beta? Thanks for the heads up, I'll look it up!

I mean, you're the one who brought up trans women in sports, admitted to not knowing anything about the subject, and then outright stated you didn't care if you're statements caused hurt, so I can see why you copped a (3 day) ban.

Also, your response to someone concerned about CSAM being posted was to say 'I'm sick of people using "think of the kids" to justify strong moderation' (paraphrasing), so you don't seem like someone worth taking seriously.

I mean, you’re the one who brought up trans women in sports, admitted to not knowing anything about the subject

That's right, then the lemmy specialists came and hated on me. No source were given, except one, which after checking was a study with low sample size which said that there were small, but non zero, inequalities between cis and trans athletes on a couple of sports, when subject to those sports' rules, while there is no clear consensus on if hormonal treatments are required and the minimum level of testosterone, which can be part of a debate

Apart from that, nothing. So clearly, saying there is equality is misinformation, but saying there is might also be with our current knowledge.

I did my own research. There is no consensus, and anyone saying that there is is lying. However, we do know that having male puberty will make definitive changes to the muscular and bones structure and as such create at least a little inequality, which is ground for debates on the subject. That was my starting point on the subject: the debate is valid and isn't transphobia nor misinformation.

The wrong I potentially agree is saying "biological men" as a mean to refer to cisgender men, instead of using the word "cisgender men". I obviously only used this word in a scientifical context to underline the biological aspect, not as a mean of dogwhistle, but of course if people are against me they will jump on the smallest of things to call me out, even though I wouldn't have used this word in another context. Lessons learned, "cisgender" is also used in science now, so let's not give opponents ammo, and I apologise for this.

and then outright stated you didn’t care if you’re statements caused hurt, so I can see why you copped a (3 day) ban.

I will say it again, but if you're hurt by the fact that there can be a debate on equality between cisgender and transgender athletes, then yes, it's your fault and I don't care, because you're not hurt based on hate speech, but you're hurt because someone has different opinions than you. It's not because you're a minority that you should get a lot of exceptions if that is not fair. There can be a debate and silencing it this way is just manipulation. Passing this as transphobia is deceptive.

Also, your response to someone concerned about CSAM being posted was to say ‘I’m sick of people using “think of the kids” to justify strong moderation’ (paraphrasing)

I strongly believe freedom and transparency should be over security. I have enough of the censoring, auto filtering of messages, manual approvals and believe they do a lot more harm than good. Perfect examples of that is what many governments try to do with the analysis of all of our private messages, phone and computer contents and media... You're just painting me as a weirdo

so you don’t seem like someone worth taking seriously.

This is purely based on your emotions and opinions. I did not misinform or act in bad faith.

Sounds like you want something closer to a Discord than a Reddit-clone.
