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.
How so? Is there drama I have missed or something?
Not enough mods to keep it going
Admins more precisely.
lemm.ee has been a shit-show for a while.
I suspect it just got more toxic than the admins could stomach and ate itself.
This is so funny coming from a .world account
Ooooh fight fight fight! (Whatever it takes to leave .ml alone)
