.ee was my second favorate general instance after .ml I will be very sad to see it go

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.

• Not providing a platform for activities that harm society (e.g. scams, disinformation).
• Not providing a platform for activities that will get you sued or prosecuted (e.g. piracy, child porn).
• They had to pay a considerable amount for the service.

On social media, putting the burden of blocking on a million users is naive because:

• Blocks can be worked around with bots, someone has to actively fight circumvention.
• Some users don't have the time to block, simply conclude "this is a hostile environment" and leave.
• Some users fall for scams / believe the disinfo.

I have once helped others build an anonymous mix network (I2P). I'm also an anarchist. On Lemmy however, support decentralization, defederating from instances that have bad policies or corrupt management, and harsh moderation. Because the operator of a Lemmy instance is fully exposed.

Experience has shown that total freedom is a suitable policy for apps that support 1-to-1 conversations via short text messages. Everything else invites too much abuse. If it's public, it will have rules. If it's totally private, it can have total freedom.

Damn, it was like the 2/3rd most active instance

https://lemmyverse.net/ to search for a new instance

complete tangent: I see lemmy.world is listed there, but anyone knows why .world doesn't appear on join-lemmy.org's list of servers?

Oh I didn't realise that how it worked.

Doesn't that mean that the hosting requirements for every instance are just going to become unfeasibly large as time goes on, or do the files get cleared out after a couple of years?

After .ml?

Then how can you even like lemm.ee and its right-wing mods?

do I seem burnt out?

I have never spent significant time on their instance, user wise, they tend to be less likely to scream that I am from .ML and so an evil tankie.

I spent more time there and 'evil tankie' was among the lesser (of many many) insults.
Like nazi, bcs in their propagandised brain that is the same thing.
They are on horseshoe level.

Im going to be honest with you, the worst instance I generally interact with is .world, I have never made a secret I am a communist, see username, but that is by far the worst instnce in my experience both of if I say anything "evil tankie" and they are also one of the worst at the evidence for me being a communist is not I have red army, but because I am from.ml

I admit this might be skewed because .world is bigger, but people from .ee tended to be more amenable,

Personal experience I guess.
.world is indeed not much better.
When recently .ml got federated again here and the reactions were mostly negative to extremely hostile.
But it's good that we're here, for some balance and post facts and opinions they otherwise don't see.
Cheers

Yeah, I noticed that too, but the observer and the explorer in the same page show them, so...ok...🧐

Maybe they're trying to divide the load among different servers, so they don't serve .world as the obvious default choice.
