Of course. I’m sure we’ll see more of abandoned instances. Of course it could also be the admin doesn’t care either.

Don't want to deal with possible issues related to the cached images being stored on the server.

I admin a small instance as well and I have only blocked lemmynsfw.com at this point. I like to keep the server open to all unless a rule is broken on my server. This means even if I don’t agree with what is be said, again, as long as it is within the rules of the site.

It baffles me as to why you would go through the trouble of creating an instance and just leave it to rot with no oversight.

As an instance owner myself some of this is concerning. I understand why lemmy.world would want to defederate from them. I won't defederate on my instance at this point, but if personal attacks start to happen or rules get broken, then it will be considered.

Sounds nifty as long as it works as intended.

15 years here and I only go when I need to for a link that provides an answer for my job.

Looks great. Thank you for all your effort on this.

No and no.

I'm over 40 and nobody cares.

I created mine because I am a systems engineer by trade and I moved on from Reddit. Nobody else has used my instance except for me, but I think it's worth it. I like being in control of my own account and can be assured my instance wont impose rules that i dont agree with or worse, just disappear. If other people find it useful, then that's even better.

What a disguished looking dog. Is that a cardigan? Thank you for contributing fellow lemming.

No idea, but it looks as though they are either moving servers or they lost their domain.

Mostly. I prefer Lemmy. I actually like it enough to run my own instance.
