Hello everyone.

As reported by lemm.ee's staff team at [email protected], the instance will be shut down by the end of this month and that means communities along with it, including [email protected].

It's been nice to have you all in this community. Farewell.

I've got to say, a lot of the more negative interactions I've had have been at lem.ee, so I'm not really that sad about it.

It just closed down? Wow. I didn't know that. You're telling me now for the first time. It led an amazing life. What else can you say? It was an amazing website. Whether you agreed or not, it was an amazing website who led an amazing life. I'm actually saddened to hear that. I am sadden to hear that. Thank you very much.

[-] [email protected] 37 points 3 days ago

Crab rave moment, I think there was about a 60% chance that if there was a lem.ee handle commenting here, it was some shitty take. so I'm not upset

[-] [email protected] 30 points 3 days ago

Better than .world, cmon now

[-] [email protected] 21 points 3 days ago

Very true. I don't see .world though because they defederated from us, and alhamdulillah for that

[-] [email protected] 27 points 3 days ago

[-] [email protected] 13 points 3 days ago

I basically called this a couple of years ago when that whole API thing was going on with Reddit, if your only objection to Reddit is some petty bullshit like that, these libs aren't going to spend their time on a knockoff Reddit when they can just go back to the real reddit-logo.

[-] [email protected] 21 points 3 days ago

It should have been storm.front instead. I liked lemm.ee it's how I met you all.

[-] [email protected] 13 points 3 days ago

.world is blaming Russia, lol.

One of the all time great lib dunking enshrined in this comment thread was fueled by a lem.ee poster. I will always be thankful to this guy from .ee for providing magnificent entertainment.

[-] [email protected] 10 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

gawd that lib had stamina

[-] [email protected] 25 points 4 days ago

Did they even say why? Lol

[-] [email protected] 42 points 3 days ago

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.

[-] [email protected] 9 points 3 days ago

Delicious in dungeon reference, Laios is the human in the party who just really likes to eat monsters

[-] [email protected] 7 points 3 days ago

[-] [email protected] 20 points 3 days ago

Can I join as an admin and steer the ship for a while?

[-] [email protected] 20 points 3 days ago

Idk. I think it's for lemm.ee users only, plus, they closed registration so yeah, no, you can't, unfortunately sicko-wistful

Why don't they just pull themselves up by their bootstraps?
