Lemm.ee is shutting down. Sad to see them go but I was expecting this after the main admin stepped down. Once the Power hungry admins replaced him, the whole vibe changed and the admins went power hungry. They didn’t follow the vision of the original admin and crushed the site in a few months.

Sad, but let’s all have a moment of silence for lemm.ee

6 months is all it took. Six months ago, @[email protected] stepped down. 4 months ago, they banned the conservative community because of a picture of Elon Musk doing the Cory Booker salute. And now, they're shutting down entirely. It was a good run, but all good things come to an end.

It's sad to see them go. I wish the users and the former admin the best of luck.

When you create an echo chamber and have strange, arbitrary rules, you end up destroying your base. Sunaurus got that, he rocked, he has a good vision for fediverse. When you try to micromanage and don't let people have conversations, you will burn yourself out but also kill the community.

What is funny, is that it was one of the top communities and after the change, it dropped towards the bottom.

Diversity of ideas is a good thing. The problem is that most admins want echo chambers, which is why Lemmy is struggling as a whole. If everyone is just circle jerking each other, it gets old real quick.

I stopped donating after they shut down the conservative community. I know many of the liberals stopped as well. They wanted a place to engage with conservatives and have meaningful discussions. Calling Elon's had gesture a nazi move just showed how bad the new admins were . 1. The photo was missed. 2. It was a joke meme from a liberal show. 3. Shutting down the forum over a missed, joke meme just showed they didn't want any real discussions; they wanted an echo chamber. They just wanted to determine what is the truth. Many of the liberals were pissed because it showed they could be next. That if they disagreed with an admin, they wouldn't be warned, they would have their content deleted or be banned.

The fediverse should be place for open discussions and not echo chambers.
