I try to contribute to things getting better, with sourced information, OC and polite rational skepticism.
Disagreeing with a point ≠ supporting the opposite side, I support rationality.

    I don’t think you can rely on volunteer labor and donations to keep things running indefinitely.

    Doesn’t that imply that it will not work on the long term?
    Or you think groups of volunteer will form up and maintain an instance for a while and then go down, and another group will pick up?
    I’m afraid we may run out of people able to do that after they all get burned out like ee’s.








  • Admins more precisely.

    The key reason is that we just don’t have enough people on the admin team to keep the place running. Most of the admin team has stepped down, mostly due to burnout, and finding replacements hasn’t worked out.

    The sad reality is that while there are a lot of great people on Lemmy, 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. Please understand why our admins chose to step down, and be kind to the admins on whatever instance you decide to join.

    We know this sucks. We’re genuinely sorry it’s ending like this. Thank you to everyone who spent time here and helped make it better.
