This post serves as notice that Lemmy.one will be shutting down in 90 days.

Unfortunately, the moderation features in Lemmy never progressed to the point required to continue maintaining this service, and Lemmy simply does not have the userbase to justify the cost of this service. Myself and the moderation team apologize for the inconvenience this will cause.

This is sad news. Hopefully the comms can migrate to other smaller instances.

Edit: just saw this

as this is a fairly active community we just wanted to let you know that this community is no longer federating with Lemmy.World due to defederation from lemmy.one for lack of moderation.

Our announcement can be found here: https://lemmy.world/post/28173093

We recommend migrating to a community on an instance that is maintained better.

I guess it's been an issue. I think the lemmy.one meant they needed better administration features

it’s much more dangerous for the individual fish to be in a smaller school than to stay in the large school.

LW run was running 0.19.3 for more than a year after the 0.19.4 and later releases, preventing the LW users of using the new Lemmy features.

is safer for the individual to join a “too large to fail” instance.

Agree, but if you filter https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/list by Active Users, and take any instance in the top 20, you're as safe as on LW.

Lemmy.zip for instance provides monthly transparency reports on !home@lemmy.zip , such as this one: https://lemmy.zip/post/35411310

who wants to invest years in a social media site just to lose your account?

I've switched instances several times since June 2023. I keep the same username and profile pic, so people still recognize me, and I still recognize other users who switched instances, or even platforms (e.g. switching from Lemmy to Piefed).

I know every time I see another instance get shut down or defederated, I’m relieved I decided to sign up via .world, even if it’s sluggish at times.

You'll see similar reactions of people not on LW every time LW takes a controversial decision: https://lemmy.world/post/24135976

One can make it also easier when switching profiles: They can just add a link to their new account. The profile info will be cached on other servers, even when the origin server goes down, providing a proof of the accounts validity. Of course lemmy could simply add a validation url similar to mastodon does and that would make this moot.
