I’m not really sure why Lemm.ee (the 3rd-biggest Lemmy instance at the time) evidently received so much of that shit compared to others.
i remember his unwillingness to defederate with basically anyone, hard to say if that played a role.
but i agree it was very well ran instance. it is a shame it ended and i hope he is happy with his other endeavors.

Good and interesting point. And a small anecdote: I was running my community there at the time, and once, after I posted an extract from a book which examined internal disputes between Israelis, we immediately got ‘jumped’ by a gang of toxic HexBear users, rabidly trying to twist the discussion into an overall condemnation of Israel. Now I probably would have agreed with much of what they said in other circumstances, but they were just such obnoxious assholes about the whole thing that we wound up banning most of them.
If Sunaurus had to deal with stuff like that on the regular, then I pity the fool… (famous Mr. T quote)
