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

    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.

      Yeah, I don’t think Lemmy is gonna grow much larger than it is now. Basically we exclude half of the US, and any other population with conservative people. The censorship has grown worse than reddit. It’s harder to join than reddit. So yeah, Lemmy is probably at it’s peak population now.

      I still like it more than reddit, but it’s not super welcoming to diverse opinions.

        Until Lemmy is able to manage the angry incel population, they will struggle.

          Yep. The anti-semitism I am seeing on here lately is troubling as well. Funny for a platform that is so quick to call everyone Nazis are starting to treat Jewish people like, well…like the Nazis did.

            Well the left has always had a Nazi problem. The ideologies lign up pretty well. It’s weird when they call republicans Nazis. Since we did we become advocates for trade unions, pensions and national healthcare?

            Idiots don’t realize Nazis we’re a political party.
