      It’s shutting down, but the fediverse is healing around it. Piefed.social has seen a huge influx, and people are moving accounts slowly but surely.

      Lemm.ee shutting down isn’t ideal from a service stand point, but it is showing how robust the fediverse is. It’s acting like the internet used to, routing around damage to continue to work. That’s amazing, and hopeful.

        My Lemmy experience has been better than Reddit ever was, but that honestly sounds like cope. Vast swaths of people couldn’t even be bothered to figure out an instance to pick, now the few that bothered are having to migrate. I think this will be a big net loss for Lemmy.

      I mean while yes it’s a tragedy. People have just moved to the other instances such as Piefed.social and Lemmy.zip.
