lemm.ee has shut down at 00:14 UTC.

unfortunately I realized too late that I have had hundreds of saved links to posts and comments from there, so I did not have enough time to save them, but anyways it is interesting that maybe a third of the post links I could try were dead. I think linkrot is happening much faster here than on reddit, even if just counting deleted posts.

It'll be greatly missed. It was nice to have an instance with a reasonable defederation policy where I could interact with anyone basically.

Nice for you, bad for the mods. Only way to do that without outsourcing mental strain to other people is to self host

Yeah I remember I few people saying modding .ee was hell because of infinite streams of users from the same instances and their refusal to defederate
