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:
- I am stepping down as head admin of lemm.ee.
- The new main contact person for the admin team will be @EllaSpiggins@lemm.ee.
- I’ll continue to maintain and update the infrastructure behind the scenes.
- 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!
Love you, Sunaurus! (altho that’s kind of an American expression which perhaps… doesn’t mix culture-wise very well in terms of where you’re from, haha *sweating*)
It’s been an honor to serve…
Myself, It’s been a *total* honor to be part of your excellent (incredibly carefully-run) instance. For my part, I’ve tried to bring positive light to lemm.ee specifically, and Lemmy as a whole, across the last 15+mos. So thank you *SINCERELY* for giving me that chance, plus for expediently handling a couple of distressing issues that I barked about, here and there!
In terms of financial gratitude, it seemed like last time I tried, I wasn’t able to get my PayPal to get y’all a donation (in retrospect I think I should have tried via GitHub?), but let me know if there’s anything else (that or otherwise) I can do for you, please.
Also, via my occasional interactions with the new lead, I’ve had a quite satisfactory time interacting with @EllaSpiggins@lemm.ee, and I want to greatly thank Ella for that, too. ^^
Just… here it is:
thank you SO MUCH, you wonderful folks, you. ❤️
Thank you for your hard work!
Thank you for all you’ve done! You should be proud of your work.
I had to step down as mod of the mapporncirclejerk subreddit for health reasons too. When I eventually moved over here, I decided to start up !cartographyanarchy@lemm.ee and now I feel better about moderating having had time to recoup.
If you are like me, remembering to rest can be a difficult thing to do. Just know that taking time off is so important to becoming your best you. ❤️
Thank you for the time and energy you’ve put into making this instance what it is, I hope you can rest, recharge and start enjoying it with the rest of us.
Ceasing client relations to focus solely on building cool shit? Who can blame you??
I think you dropped this: 👑
