Hello everyone.

As reported by lemm.ee's staff team at !meta@lemm.ee, the instance will be shut down by the end of this month and that means communities along with it, including !ask@lemm.ee.

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.

Is there a reason why they are shutting down? I mean good riddance and all but just curious.

admin burnout from running a general lemmy instance they said, which makes sense since ee attracted the second most redditors from the migration

So, instead of shutting it down, why not just elect a new admin?

they should do that honestly, and i think they should make @Alaskaball@hexbear.net an admin too https://hexbear.net/comment/5830180

They absolutely have my vote lol

Seconded, may Alaskaball rule the conquered land with a merciless iron fist for a thousand years.

I think Interim Admin u/juanguaido69 has the right idea

Wonder what he's up to in Miami these days. Truly the premier city for all the worst people in LatAm to flee from the consequences of their actions. Remember that time when his own supporters got so pissed off they threw chairs at him?

sicko-wistful Miss you big man, you always made the news funny.
