    Dammit, I literally just relaunched [email protected] this week. What unfortunate timing.

    To any of my subscribers reading this: I’m currently in the process of finding a new instance. I’ll edit this comment when I establish a new home for Radio Lemmy. Stay tuned…

    Anyone have suggestions for similar instances?

    I assume my user account will also go down? I’m new to the lemmy community so I don’t know how this would interfere with me being able to comment and post on other instances from this account

    I wish the best for the admin and mods of lemm.ee. I can attest to the frustration that is running any online community though, especially one built on/dependent on Lemmy. I am sorry to see you stepping out @[email protected] but hope you’re doing alright otherwise. Was real nice bouncing ideas and changes off you in the past.

    I guess it’s time to migrate to piefed. I really love some of the things they’re doing - but I’ll miss lemm.ee, I feel most other instances either defederate way too much, or way too little (as in, not at all)…

      Pfft, you say that but there’s no way.

      Go look at a big instance’s defederation list. Just the URLs should be enough to clue you in.

    Bruh what? They’re citing lack of staff? They haven’t even asked for volunteers! I would be happy to help!

      You don’t necessarily want to just ask for volunteers as that’s a great way to summon exactly the kind of people you don’t want to put in charge of online communities. The best way is usually to notice people who are already part of the community and consistently make positive contributions, then ask for their help. If none of those people want to, though, you’re stuck.

      Honestly, me too. I wouldn’t mind taking on some /c/, but I’ve got a bad moderation record (banned in places, removed comments in others…) but I can be better and can take this place with sincerity rather than a place to vent my autistic annoyances in the worst ways possible. I’ve been here for 2 years and I wouldn’t want this - what we have - to go away.

      Can we please have a post where /c/ that are struggling to moderate could ask for help? Hell, we could even do it monthly or every 2 months. Just gather ever /c/ that is struggling and ask for vols.

          holy jesus… is that…? the user i triggered earlier? bruh… is that what you do to everyone? stalk them?

          regardless, ee doesn’t defed and I don’t share the same opinion in one case about one instance. it’s almost as if people can have differing opinions. crazy world

            You can have a differing opinion, but I don’t know how far you’re gonna get in becoming an admin when you fundamentally differ on the philosophy of the instance. Hell, that’s probably a very valid reason why your admins weren’t letting random users apply to become admins, because it seems a lot of people don’t get it.
