The key reason is that we just don’t have enough people on the admin team to keep the place running. Most of the admin team has stepped down, mostly due to burnout, and finding replacements hasn’t worked out.

It's still quite a lot nicer than reddit, even if it has its share of unpleasant characters. Whenever I read a reddit thread I am glad Lemmy exists.

It's the normal amount of suck that is inherent and not the turbo suck that corpos intentionally cultivate for profit

And at least the average Lemmy user isn't a complete fucking idiot.

I remember the early days of reddit, when we would make fun of the kids over at /r/SummerReddit every June. But then those kids grew up, took over the website, and now /r/SummerReddit is all of reddit.

I remember discovering Digg first and then reddit, and noticing how on reddit, back when it was Digg's less glamorous knockoff, people didn't comment unless they really knew what they were talking about. It was a pretty sensible and erudite site for a while. Then Digg nuked itself and reddit was forever changed.

I was there! Started on Digg after Kevin Rose mentioned it on The Screensavers (TechTV), joined reddit shorty after.

2006-2009 was peak reddit. Then after digg's suicide, it was the beginning of the end.

And now he's is trying to bring it back. I wish him the best of luck. Don't fuck it up this time, Kevin.

Fascinating how quickly you can forget the actual abuse when thinking about an abusive ex.
