It feels a bit weird to see lemm.ee users posting as if their accounts aren't going to be dead in less than a month.

Edit: Sorry to lemm.ee users if this is how you found out, but this is real: https://lemm.ee/post/65824884

You'll need to join another instance to keep posting: https://join-lemmy.org/instances

You have until June 30th, 2025, so you have 19 days.

That's not what happened. It wasn't any more or less toxic than any other place on the internet, the lead admin just got burnt out. He asked the community for volunteers to moderate the instance and apparently nobody showed up.

So he's shutting down the instance next month. It wasn't dysfunctional or toxic, he just sacrificed a lot and AFAIK never even broke even with server costs.

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.

Yeah, I gave volunteering a good, long think because I'm mostly sure I've got the right proficiencies for it, but my plate's already overflowing as it is. I like lemm.ee, but when I sat down and considered my priorities IRL, I am legitimately sorry to say that it didn't make the cut. I guess everyone else did that same math.

I've modded some small but active enough to need real coverage subs on reddit. It's a real job. People are too weird to self-moderate.
