We recently received a message from a concerned Rammy user regarding their instance not having an active admin team.
We have made attempts to contact the Rammy admins, which other instance admins have tried as well, to determine their current status. Due to their admins being absent and their unmoderated content growing in numbers, we will defederate from Rammy. If and when this situation changes, we will be happy to reevaluate our approach. It should be noted that any instances that have abandoned admin teams will be defederated.
It doesn’t make any sense, the most they are realistically paying is €6 a month, and that is if they rented the VPS specifically for running Lemmy, in all other scenarios it is basically free.
It’s not like you can turn off the server and call the bank and tell them now you don’t have to pay the mortgage, your overhead stays the same if the Lemmy service is on or off.
