Lemme.ee got so toxic that the admins bailed. Nobody in the community supported the leads or stepped up to replace them. Whomever was fronting the money to keep the instance hosted got fed up and decided to shut it down.

Now there’s a big ceremonial cry-in for an instance that ate itself with dysfunction, because… idfk.

That’s not what happened. It wasn’t any more or less toxic than any other place on the internet, the lead admin just got burnt out. He asked the community for volunteers to moderate the instance and apparently didn’t get any good applications.

So he’s shutting down the instance next month. It wasn’t dysfunctional or toxic, he just sacrificed a lot and AFAIK never even broke even with server costs.

  Yeah, I gave volunteering a good, long think because I’m mostly sure I’ve got the right proficiencies for it, but my plate’s already overflowing as it is. I like lemm.ee, but when I sat down and considered my priorities IRL, I am legitimately sorry to say that it didn’t make the cut. I guess everyone else did that same math.

  I’ve nodded some small but active enough to need real coverage subs on reddit. It’s a real job. People are too weird to self-moderate.

Talk about over exaggeration lol. Lemm.ee was fine and well run, I enjoyed it more than being on .world. They just didn’t have enough people willing to be admins.

Tbh I thought it was low-hanging fruit and I wondered why no one was picking it. Wasn’t really paying attention to the admin drama.

Oh, so you just like making shit up. I guess it’s to distract yourself from the feeling of your own incompetence?
