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?

    Got shut down after this post on MOG was made:

    Which he (Hamid) responded to with this:

    This was the last comment he made:

    I think I am for real I’m done with Lemmy lol

    This is the funniest part of the harassment thread

    This comment is talking about Sunshine/Beaver who came to my instance after that. I had nothing to do with it 🤷‍♀️

    tl;dr: he was sick of getting into lemmy drama

    Admin always wanted it to be a small instance for friends, he was pushed into federating by sunshine, who is beaver and several others as well by my understanding. Then the political situation in the US continued deteriorating, and between the risks, the stalking, and all the general harassment that comes from operating a public vegan community he saw no benefits to keeping it up and shut it down.

      What the fuck are you talking about? When did this happen, do you have a link? This is bonkers.

      sunshine, who is beaver and several others as well

      What others?

      I sort of hesitate to feed into made-up-from-whole-cloth Lemmy drama, which this definitely seems to be, but I’m giving you enough benefit of the doubt to at least ask for reasons for why you’re saying this stuff.

        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 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.

                  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.

          Beaver, subshine, aqua, and others are all the same person.

          She moderated [email protected] for a while with myself and others. She caused endless drama and became increasingly derranged. After we lost interest in light of the lemmy.world admins anti vegan and antiscientific stance and handed over the community she kept an alt with mod powers. She then used the powers weeks later to cause problems for the new mod.

          On vtc she became increasingly derranged and harassy. Appears fixated on Hamid, and constantly posts shit to those dumb harassment/drama communities. Like every little thing Hamid said. It was dumb as fuck, I don’t agree with Hamid on some things but he was just running a chill instance for vegans to enjoy each other’s company.

    Holy shit. This comment section is a train wreck.

    possible Spoiler for Season Finale

    I think all of you are just alt accounts from one and the same person who initially wanted to make Lemmy look more populated to draw in more users. But with time sanity went belly up and now the split personalities are fighting against each other.

        I mean it’s a pretty influential instance since that’s where the lead developers reside. It would be pretty normal for everyone using lemmy to have them “live rent free in their heads”

          “live rent free in their heads” doesn’t mean to be aware of someone, it’s talking about obsession. That cm lad constantly tries to bring up “.ml” out of nowhere to incite drama, and I just took a glance at their user profile and holy moly it’s almost entirely just reposting from lemmy.ml.

          Like just look at https://lemmy.world/post/30613970/17403019, a content creator is asking them to stop reposting their work to a certain community and telling them how it’s harmful, and cm0002 is just using that as an excuse to handwave it and soapbox. This is unhealthy antisocial behaviour.

            Lol

            1. I don’t do it out of “no where” I generally stick to relevant threads

            2. I have plenty of my own posts. In general, I try to aim for a 1:2 ratio, for every crosspost I post 2 articles/content that aren’t cross-posts (.ml isn’t actually all that busy lmao)

            3. lemmy.ml is probably the biggest threat to the long term viability of the Lemmy-verse. It’s just so amazing(/S) to come across comments out in the wild on say Reddit that goes along the lines of “I tried that Lemmy place, but it seemed to be just a bunch of tankies/run be Tankies” because they had the misfortune to land on lemmy.ml

            stop reposting their work to a certain community and telling them how it’s harmful

            Yea, harmful to the .ml instance …which is kinda the whole point of a boycott, to put pressure on the target to either change their ways or fall to irrelevancy

                It’s really quite simple, [email protected] was an up and coming Tankie and was absolutely aligning their instance with the Tankie Triad.

                As for why .ml is a “Tankie Instance” in general, and documentation of it, you can see the recap post

                  I’m not stupid, I know that .m(arxist)l(eninist) is a tankie instance. But what the other user stated, that you’ve made it your entire personality to bring it up whenever possible, also rings true ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

        Nah, I’ll take a day off when lemmy.ml either gets shutdown, defederated from or an actual fair and unbiased admin team is put in place.
