Hexbear outlived them because this is a site run by posters, and posters never logout

Wow. I didn’t know that. I just — you’re telling me now for the first time.

It led an amazing life. What else can you say? It was an amazing server. Whether you agree or not, it was an amazing server who led an amazing life. I’m actually saddened to hear that. I am saddened to hear that.

Crab rave moment, I think there was about a 60% chance that if there was a lem.ee handle commenting here, it was some shitty take. so I'm not upset

[-] 4am@lemm.ee 30 points 1 month ago

Better than .world, cmon now

[-] CommunistCuddlefish@hexbear.net 21 points 1 month ago

Very true. I don't see .world though because they defederated from us, and alhamdulillah for that

[-] Le_Wokisme@hexbear.net 27 points 1 month ago

preemptively, as a last resort!

[-] Ram_The_Manparts@hexbear.net 13 points 1 month ago

What else could they have possibly done?!

[-] roux@hexbear.net 29 points 1 month ago

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

[-] thelastaxolotl@hexbear.net 54 points 1 month ago

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

[-] roux@hexbear.net 21 points 1 month ago

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

[-] thelastaxolotl@hexbear.net 52 points 1 month ago

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

[-] roux@hexbear.net 37 points 1 month ago

They absolutely have my vote lol

[-] someone@hexbear.net 25 points 1 month ago

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

[-] CloutAtlas@hexbear.net 27 points 1 month ago

I think Interim Admin u/juanguaido69 has the right idea

Why this is happening

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.

The sad reality is that while there are a lot of great people on Lemmy, there are also some who use the platform to attack others, stir up conflict, or actively try to undermine the project. Admins are volunteers who deal with the latter group on a constant basis, this takes a mental toll. Please understand why our admins chose to step down, and be kind to the admins on whatever instance you decide to join.

Oof... did we strike a nerve? Well, at least they didn't defed...

[-] peeonyou@hexbear.net 20 points 1 month ago

Can I join as an admin and steer the ship for a while?

[-] Lemmygradwontallowme@hexbear.net 20 points 1 month ago

Idk. I think it's for lemm.ee users only, plus, they closed registration so yeah, no, you can't, unfortunately sicko-wistful

[-] mathemachristian@hexbear.net 16 points 1 month ago

I very much doubt this is because of us, and I dont know why everyones celebrating this as if "our posting power" did this when the admins of that instance have been nice to us afaik. I think it's because of genuinely bad actors otherwise they would have just defedded.

I basically called this a couple of years ago when that whole API thing was going on with Reddit, if your only objection to Reddit is some petty bullshit like that, these libs aren't going to spend their time on a knockoff Reddit when they can just go back to the real reddit-logo .

[-] peeonyou@hexbear.net 21 points 1 month ago

Why don't they just pull themselves up by their bootstraps?

[-] mathemachristian@hexbear.net 21 points 1 month ago

It should have been storm.front instead. I liked lemm.ee it's how I met you all.

[-] SevenSkalls@hexbear.net 13 points 1 month ago

Same. I'm pretty bummed about it.

One of the all time great lib dunking enshrined in this comment thread was fueled by a lem.ee poster. I will always be thankful to this guy from .ee for providing magnificent entertainment.
