Not a fan of it by any means, but it shit down ~11 days ago and no one mentioned it.

Every link to something on the instance redirects to this: https://imgur.com/XpxDJTg

Since lemmy posts are links, every image post is now that image.

The admin (local account on lemm.ee https://lemm.ee/u/[email protected] ) said it was because of the harassment culture on lemmy (https://lemm.ee/post/64686772 ), and blamed sunshine and beaver for doing something? (https://lemm.ee/post/63664605/20610349 – the post this is in reply to is gone, but the comment is in the local copy of the person’s profile.)

Anyone know what happened?

    I’ve talked to hamid outside of lemmy. I’m just sharing what happened as best as I can recall from a perspective that’s not Sunshine’s, since she’s already all over this thread and she was a factor in him deciding to shut it down.

        I didn’t save them so I can’t recall specifics, but I’ve seen receipts. Sorry my info is kinda spotty, since I did ECT my memory isn’t the best.

              I feel silly even asking this, but you didn’t by any chance “push” Hamid into federating when he just wanted it to be a non federated server, did you?

              You know what, forget I asked. I feel like I already know the answer to that question and toomanypancakes is just riding their own little dialectical go-kart, for their own ineffable reasons.

            I don’t know what you want from me? Sorry I got treatment for depression? Believe me or don’t, I don’t really care, but that’s why he closed the server if you’re curious.

              I was under the impression that he passed along the administration to the server to someone else, I guess he kept the keys to the server after all.
