probably with the sudden increase of lemmy.ee users from reddit who were part of the ban waves since the beginning of the year, many of them are rightfully banned for spreading pro-israeli, russian backed and right wing propaganda. along with innocent users that were unceremoniously banned.
I haven't been following Reddit events since I left a couple years ago, but if there have been recent ban waves for bad behaviour, it wouldn't surprise me to see corresponding upticks in it here.
I wish more of us spoke up against rudeness, confidently incorrect ignorance, combativeness, tribalism, brigading, and other such stuff when it rears its head here. If all of us participated in moderation, I suspect it would be more effective and make our mods' lives easier.

And at least the average Lemmy user isn't a complete fucking idiot.
I remember the early days of reddit, when we would make fun of the kids over at /r/SummerReddit every June. But then those kids grew up, took over the website, and now /r/SummerReddit is all of reddit.
And at least the average Lemmy user isn't a complete fucking idiot.
Please, allow myself to introduce... Myself.

I remember discovering Digg first and then reddit, and noticing how on reddit, back when it was Digg's less glamorous knockoff, people didn't comment unless they really knew what they were talking about. It was a pretty sensible and erudite site for a while. Then Digg nuked itself and reddit was forever changed.

besides the rightful bans, thier purges were quite different this time around, many of them were banned for no REASON at all.

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.
Sad day. Lemm.ee was by far my favorite instance and my home. Thanks admins for the hard work.

In this situation, a user on lemm.ee would have to export their settings and create a new account elsewhere, right? Do their comments and post histories get exported too? I joined Lemmy only a month ago; this is the first time seeing an instance go down, so I'd appreciate it if someone here could clarify that.

Yes

No, but if I understand it correctly, they will live on in other servers that were federated at the time they were posted.

Ah . I just joined last month. So missed all these requests.

Damn, it was like the 2/3rd most active instance
https://lemmyverse.net/ to search for a new instance
Oh man I had no idea how popular that instance was. That’s really sad :(((

I was there! Started on Digg after Kevin Rose mentioned it on The Screensavers (TechTV), joined reddit shorty after.
2006-2009 was peak reddit. Then after digg's suicide, it was the beginning of the end.
And now he's is trying to bring it back. I wish him the best of luck. Don't fuck it up this time, Kevin.

People were being banned for up voting posts that got removed.

Hi. My name is TachyonTele.

hey, real talk. if the users weren't so obnoxious maybe the admins wouldn't be burnt-the-fuck-out...
Unlike you, right?

The double edged sword of not defederating from other instances is that the worst instaces that most block will use your space to keep shoveling their bullshit to more people.
It creats a lot of extra work for the admins/mods
What are the worst instances?

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?
-
wasnt enough to save the instance, they were probably running as a skeleton crew ever since they asked the need ofr admin.

Why couldn’t they just leave it be? People can block anyone that they don’t want to see posts from. Is it really that important to have an army of people banning anyone who they disagree with?
What else do the admin team do other than ban people and remove posts and comments?
