It feels a bit weird to see lemm.ee users posting as if their accounts aren’t going to be dead in less than a month.

there are also some who use the platform to attack others, stir up conflict, or actively try to undermine the project. Admins are volunteers who deal with the latter group on a constant basis, this takes a mental toll.
While I respect their decision I feel like these people will just move on to other instances to do the same thing.
I don’t know all the details but it smells a bit “tolerant of the intolerant” and that these people should have been shown the door before it got to the point of shutting down (other reasons aside - they’re all valid)
The bad actors probably will move. But the problem is 99% of instance admins are volunteers and do it because they want to. It’s much harder to deal with that shit when it’s a labor of love and you’re not getting paid.
Most were “shown the door” as you mentioned but like spam, it’s a tsunami that’s hard to deal with on a large scale.
Absolutely, but these problems are common to all the instances. Maybe I interpreted it wrong, it sounded like they were directly engaging the bad actors over management of the platform, and doing that rather than just quietly banning them and moving on.
And to be clear I’m all for open collaboration and taking feedback, but I’ve seen this occur for Lemmy apps where loud and overbearing voices try and dominate the conversation to the benefit of noone, until Devs either stop responding or shut things down.
Regardless, it’s sad to lose an instance and I hope the admins find something rewarding to invest in without having to deal with the internet’s worst members.
Consider switching to PieFed, it has many nice features Lemmy doesn't

Any thoughts on reddthat.com?

What happens if I don’t change ?

You won’t be able to log in, post, comment, etc., with this account. Basically, the website lemm.ee is going to be gone forever. Lemm.ee is how you do stuff in the Fediverse. The rest of the Fediverse will still be up, and the instances you interacted with will have copies of your posts and comments, but your account will otherwise be dead.
So you probably do want to change instances.

we welcome everyone.
we’re kind of that open-minded server (and country). where the internet reigns free, since the dawn of existence.

I think you will simply not be able to log in.
