Not enough funds?
Not enough admins. Too many trolls.
I had no idea my instance had such a shoddy rep!
Not a shoddy rep, just that it grew so large so fast with not enough admin volunteers. All of the big ones are constantly getting hit by these sad losers who need therapy
So then won’t this problem just move to another instance if .ee closes?
No, because most of the other instances are probably more prepared.
not really, lemmyee was more defederated, so it allowed basically anyone. the other ones have blocked off some of the problematic instances. ,ML, hexbear, grad users were all becoming too common recently i had to block them.
yea the purges from reddit, accounts for the sudden jump in users. and many of them were indiscriminately banned, plus now you have the increase of the trolls.
Not necessarily @lemm.ee trolls; trolls from other instances starting shit in @lemm.ee communities, and they just don't have enough admins to handle things
This is my first time hearing about this.
Unfortunately lemm.ee has been short staffed for mods for at least a year due to high turnover/burnout. The very thing that appealed most to me about lemm.ee, that it was still broadly federated and thus offered a truer fediverse experience, ultimately led to its downfall. ☹️
admins got burnt out from stress, and yes its also due to the significant uptick in trolls, and propagands spreading, hard to control all of it, with no automatic filters, like reddit.
Automatic filters? What are those?
reddit and subreddits have filters that automatically remove content, and now reddit has AIs to automatically ban people and not give you a reason.
