Very sad to see a major hub of the fediverse sink. To note, I think this is why beehaw locked itself down for a year.

It became too much for them to manage. They locked it during the Spez dump. Seems like the strategy worked for their mod team.

Did you see the shitshow it was created when the admin posted a message asking for donations to lemmy developers? Including many people from outside the instance
Honestly I think that was the tipping point for them to throw up the towel

On .ee? I’ve seen it on other instances without issue. We really got to strategize against bot farms.

Yes, I think it was on meta one month ago
