Even though it ultimately didn’t work out, thanks to those who worked hard to keep the instance running despite technical and administrative issues. I did notice that the instance was very good about being up and running consistently.
It’s too bad that they couldn’t ultimately support the platform in terms of moderation issues, but people are people. I can’t imagine what trying to keep this all under control is like. Must be like herding lolcats. Thanks for giving it a try and ultimately making sure the platform would not be misused despite the modeation difficulties.
the team’s been doing a great job with the instance and I appreciate the hell out of them for that. it’s sad to see it shut down, but I also respect that they recognise that admin job isn’t doing them any good and leave before it causes more harm and burnout; there’s so many people out there who don’t seem to be capable of such insight.
my Piefed adventure was supposed to be temporary just to see what’s what, but I guess I’m stuck here for good now, heh
I picked this instance basically on a whim but I’ve been so happy with it. The policies generally seemed very reasonable and welcoming. I thought it was doing fine because Sunaurus would periodically say the financials were in good shape, but I didn’t realize the admins were struggling. This is a sad surprise :(
Yeah, I do really appreciate the time we had with lemm.ee
As the second most active instance I can only imagine the burden it carried.
