Comment on lemm.ee is shutting down at the end of this month

  Less communities on their instances means less traffic, less activities, less moderation reports (they would have to deal only with users on their own instances)

  Those users are the same as in our universe for lemm.ee as a user instance. They stir the same dramas, create the same number of alts, violate rules in a similar way.

  if even then they are overloaded with work, they could decide to scale down the operation before reaching burning-out point: close the instance for new registrations, make user registration conditional on payment/donation, etc.

  That was available to the lemm.ee admins in our scenario as well. They preferred to shut the instance down rather than reduce.

    It is a lot more difficult to get out of burn out than it is to avoid getting there in the first place.

      Indeed, but that’s true in both scenarios

        One scenario is hypothetical. The other really happened. It makes no sense to say “they are both true”.
