Just to clarify, yes-- I guess it's 'burnout' in a general sense, but from everything I saw, the instance-runner did an absolutely top-notch job running the place. I also get the sense that the little admin staff did a fine job, too. With everything in place, Lemm.ee could have gone for years and years, I reckon.
So what was the actual problem? From what I gather, it was essentially too many toxic and trouble-making users, sadly. Dealing with that stuff is notoriously a grueling, even depressing, even traumatic kind of slog that every major social media place has to deal with, but at least with larger places, they can afford to pay staff to deal with it, and replace them as necessary, such that the average user barely sees the problem. Not to mention, as we're seeing with Reddit, AI is increasingly used to deal with this stuff, sometimes speciously banning users for little or no good cause.
As I see it, the Fediverse is supposed to be a kind haven and remedy to draconian management, and yet still has to find a way to deal with the legions of trolls, assholes & troublemakers. I guess we'll see how that goes...
