Hey Folks

Just a quick note to let you all know about some changes in the lemm.ee admin team. After discussing things with the other admins, we've decided to shuffle around our roles a bit.

Up until now, I’ve been the head admin at lemm.ee - handling infrastructure, maintaining rules and policies, and acting as the main contact person for the admin team.

However, I’ve come to realize that this role has taken a toll on me. While I still love the idea of Lemmy and everything it stands for, being an admin has slowly drained the joy I once had for the platform. The occasional negative experiences have been increasingly difficult for me to shake off. For the past several months, I’ve found myself hesitating to check my DMs or the moderation queue, simply because I’m bracing for some new drama that I no longer have the energy to manage.

After some conversations with the team, we’ve agreed on a plan to ensure my burnout doesn’t negatively impact the instance:
  1. I am stepping down as head admin of lemm.ee.
  2. The new main contact person for the admin team will be @EllaSpiggins@lemm.ee.
  3. I’ll continue to maintain and update the infrastructure behind the scenes.
  4. The rest of the admin team will now handle all moderation issues, managing our policies, and any general admin communications.

It’s been an honor to serve as your head admin, and I’m incredibly grateful for the amazing people I’ve met here. I’m excited to stay involved in a capacity that works better for me and allows me to enjoy this community once again.

See you around!

Thanks for making lemmee awesome and it’s good to hear that you’ll still be around in some capacity. I’m optimistic of your confident endorsement of the admin team so hopefully the quality of the instance stays the same (or gets better!). Good luck!
