    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

      There are some sites that show what instances are de-federated from that. People can use that as a guide as well, if there are instances they don’t really want feeds from due to their underlying circumstances. They should also check the admins and modlog so they don’t run into surprises later down the line.

      Yeah I was gonna try out piefed and mbin but if those don’t work out for me any lemmy instance suggestions? J was thinking lemmy.zip or any instance who only defederates with spam/illegal stuff

      .wolrd is the only instance I have been able to stay on so far.

      Every smaller one I try bans me for minor disagreements or wrongthink. They all feel like exclusive clubs that they don’t really want people to join, but will then whine about low user numbers.

      The larger spaces have admins that are more often held accountable and put on blast, it’s just the nature of these kinds of spaces.

    Lol, no it wasn’t. It was the place where the lowest-common-denominator ended up. My experience on more niche, tailored servers has been wonderful for thoughtful discussion and avoiding useless flame wars.

      End of june, lemm.ee is shutting down.

      don’t worry though, most communities are available on other instances.

      Just make a new account on lemmy.zip, export your settings/subscriptions from lemm.ee and import them on .zip.

      Out of loop? We had posts and posts about lemm.ee going down, how did you missed it?
      Anyway, end of June lemm.ee is going down, which means it won’t be accessible! If you want to access lemmy after that, you have to find a new instance. Have a look here to search for a new instance.

      Don’t forget to export your profile settings from settings > Import/Export Settings > export.

      most of the admins left due to stress, or lack of hiring. thats why its shutting down.

        Isn’t the whole point of lemmy is you don’t “have” to monitor it with admins?

          moderating is for mods. admins are there to keep lemmy.ee running. much like reddit still needs admins to run things, minus thier ability to ban accounts arbitrarily.

          No, the point of Lemmy is to be decentralized and non-corporate. It has nothing to do with monitoring or moderating.

          I do see why you’re saying that, but a server without admins would rapidly become a breeding ground for entirely illegal discussions, and it would be at least defederated pretty rapidly

            oh yea thats why alot of them dissociated with the tankies, and some illegal porn ones, especially csam.

            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.

          No, the point is that it’s not controlled by any one megacorp or nation state. Being an open social media platform it’s still going to have shitty people trying to attack its infrastructure to try to silence others or tilt voting the way they want or just chaotically troll the hell out of people. Admins are needed to protect it from that.

          You just made me realise a non-zero amount of people have this view and post/behave however they want - leading to instance closures and defederations

            Probably people getting down voted like crazy for asking simple questions isn’t really good for retention or growth. Late stage reddit behavior. Guess lemmy is going to speed run all of the downside of reddit.

          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.
