Honestly there wasn't that much anyway. Most good stuff is still on Reddit anyways

See? Centralization is a bad idea.

It's a Valentine's day tragedy.

As an instance admin myself, I'm so confused... If you went through the effort of setting up an instance, the effort of transferring all the access and stuff to someone else would be nothing. Just seems super weird to disappear without a trace and without handing it over to someone else.

[–] Cube6392@beehaw.org 21 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago) (5 children)

the lemmy nsfw admin had previously asked if anyone was willing to take ownership of the instance because it was too much mental overhead to moderate a space that could sometimes get dicey and be legally liable for what was hosted on the server. there were no takers. the fact that this admin has been silent leads me to believe that this was not an active choice and instead something away from the keyboard led to this, be that legal, personal, or mental concerns that took priority over something they already felt no one would take on based on previously asking

See @ada@lemmy.blahaj.zone's better explanation of the situation here: https://piefed.blahaj.zone/comment/3354654

seems like this is what happened to Lemmy. ee too, nobody would take over some of the instance administrations.

[–] ada@piefed.blahaj.zone 10 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

They had two admins, only the first of which had the keys to the castle.

[–] Cube6392@beehaw.org 3 points 8 hours ago

Ah! Thank you for the clarification. I'm glad you always know what's going on in the metafediverse

I could just imagine someone's wife finding out:

"Are you telling me that all this time, you've been running a porn site on the Internet? And you don't even make money at it?"

That would be my last day as mod.

[–] SorteKanin@feddit.dk 4 points 9 hours ago

Well if that is true, then that's completely fair. If they looked for someone to take it and nobody did, then there should be no surprise that it is gone now. You can be sad about it but not too sad, you should've just taken up the charge yourself then.

[–] NominatedNemesis@reddthat.com 8 points 8 hours ago

That was my 1st account... Not signed for porn, but I switched to lemmy in the first big migratory wave, and no other instance replied to my registration request. I even donated. Since then I have registered to many lemmy, but only this (reddthat.com) survived 😭

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 16 points 10 hours ago

Rub one out for our homie.

[–] sydd@lemmy.world 14 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Where will I see cute butts now?

[–] SloppyJoe@toast.ooo 9 points 6 hours ago (1 children)
[–] IMALlama@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

As someone who hunts said butts, can confirm!

[–] picnic@lemmy.world 21 points 13 hours ago

Oh, with that instance federated browsing lemmy felt like good old times browsing reddit before they banned porn from /all.

This is really a sad thing.

[–] hperrin@lemmy.ca 70 points 16 hours ago (7 children)

Without porn, is a platform really a platform?

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 3 hours ago

they still have reddit, where people peddle thier OF profiles are part of thier businesses all the time, by using hordes of bots.

What??? In the Valentines day? I fucking liked Lemmy nsfw

[–] ramble81@lemmy.zip 40 points 16 hours ago (5 children)

So now comes the big question. With it gone, are there any other replacement instances to…. fill that niche?

I'm sorry everyone. It was me. I recently found out about lemmynsfw and may have overloaded the server.

Ethically spanking it just got more difficult. I want to jerk it to those who want to share

I mean, this beautifully shows that this comic explicitly doesn't apply to the fediverse. Since everything else continues to work. The fediverse as a whole remains unaffected.

[–] null@piefed.nullspace.lol 44 points 18 hours ago

Right? This is just about as wrong of a meme as you could possibly choose for this.

[–] adhd_traco@piefed.social 92 points 20 hours ago

Bernie Sanders meme. He's standing outside in a jacket, facing the camera. Text: "I am once again asking to bring back lemmynsfw.com

I promise I'll acquire some bucks to donate too 😇

[–] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 26 points 17 hours ago (8 children)

You should still be able to see the content from your instances. For example: [NSFW] !boobs@lemmynsfw.com

It appears the image server is still running. The main admin is AWOL so if anyone wants to archive the content do it now.
