Comment on Lemm.ee is dead
TWeaK@lemm.ee 9 months ago
lemm.ee has always been one of the most stable instances lol. When other instances had issues in the past, lemm.ee was typically immune already, and our admin was front and centre helping the other instances out.
There were issues with 0.19.0, which have now largely been addressed. The site here is as speedy as ever now.

Speed is just the tip of the iceberg here.

Just saw your edit above. So is it mainly that they won’t defederate? If you want that, then you need to move to lemmy.world, sh.itjust.works or beehaw.org. These instances would more fit that ideology.
/u/sunaurus quite clearly wanted to defederate from lemmygrad.ml and hexbear. He’s from Estonia, a former Soviet country that absolutely does not like Russia. Estonia gained independence from the Soviet Union, but instead of a violent revolution, they won their freedom by singing.
The only reason you think this instance is associated with those instances is because some users from those instances started to moonlight over here after their instance was defederated from lemmy.world and other major community instances. lemm.ee is as open as reasonably possible - spammers are blocked, but others are allowed for the sake of allowing open discussion. Users from lemmygrad and hexbear also moonlight on lemmy.ml now, since the defederations, but lemmy.ml communities are often moderated in the same style as those tankie communities.
I was banned from hexbear for frivilous reasons, well before they started making alt accounts here. I kind of wanted lemm.ee to defederate, if only so I didn’t keep seeing hexbear posts in my feed that I couldn’t comment on. Now, I can block hexbear and not see their communities, but I can still call them out in less oppressively moderated subs whenever they step out. Usually they don’t, because they’re pussies when they don’t have mods to hide behind.
lemmygrad.ml has some of the same shit, but it’s at least a little bit more rational. I can argue with them and toe their lines, even if I get nothing but downvotes.
So yeah, if you don’t like how lemm.ee is federated, then maybe it just isn’t the instance for you. You would be better off with another. However, that isn’t a flaw in lemm.ee - certainly not a technical flaw, which your original post was focused on - that’s just, like, your opinion, man.

So what issues are actually currently bothering you? Given that your last post here is a version and massive hardare upgrade behind where we are now.

I have updated my post. Mainly it’s the lack of interest from admin, instance is nearly on the same level as hexbear or lemmygrad, which doesn’t sound appealing. Maybe a bit whitewashed but definitely you can see it in others people comments.
Server issues are actually admin issues. It’s his server after all, and he doesn’t seem to care that much. He should watch and learn from lemmy.world before spinning up his own instance. I know it’s a software and it will continue receiving updates, but if the last update was done properly, there would be no need for me to make this post. This entire instance is giving off bad energy. I can’t bother with this shit any more, that’s why I’m leaving. Enough is enough.

I’ve answered the defederation part in my other comment. We are not associated with lemmygrad or hexbear, however some of their users exploit the open philosophy to run their alts here - they can use one login here to see both hexbear and lemmy.world. However, they have to behave themselves and can’t get away with the shit they do behind the corrupt mods of hexbear.
Mate you clearly haven’t been paying attention, or you’ve just not been here long. lemmy.world has had far bigger problems with loading times and other things than lemm.ee. When that happened, /u/sunaurus was front and centre telling them how to fix things. When they got hacked or when they got DDOSed, /u/sunaurus was stepping up and helping them - while his instance was completely immune to the problems, thanks to his personal innovation and attention to detail. He has also directly contributed to the core lemmy codebase, improving things for all other instances.
Yes, lemm.ee had a few problems that came about with v0.19. lemmy.world did not face these problems, because lemmy.world had already applied excessive server resources to their instance; lemm.ee had been built with efficient code allowing more lean infrastructure. v0.19 screwed that up by introducing bugs, and /u/sunaurus’ response was to not only fix that in code but switch to beefier infrastructure. Right now, as I understand it, we are back in the lead in being both beefier and more efficient than lemmy.world (at least on a per user metric).
The only one giving off bad energy here is you. You want to bitch about something, but you can’t accept that the things you’re bitching about aren’t actually that valid. You don’t want to go to other instances, because you have even more things to bitch about there. It feels like there’s no pleasing you.
