Not a fan of it by any means, but it shit down ~11 days ago and no one mentioned it.
Every link to something on the instance redirects to this: https://imgur.com/XpxDJTg
Since lemmy posts are links, every image post is now that image.
The admin (local account on lemm.ee https://lemm.ee/u/hamid@vegantheoryclub.org ) said it was because of the harassment culture on lemmy (https://lemm.ee/post/64686772 ), and blamed sunshine and beaver for doing something? (https://lemm.ee/post/63664605/20610349 – the post this is in reply to is gone, but the comment is in the local copy of the person’s profile.)
Anyone know what happened?
Admin always wanted it to be a small instance for friends, he was pushed into federating by sunshine, who is beaver and several others as well by my understanding. Then the political situation in the US continued deteriorating, and between the risks, the stalking, and all the general harassment that comes from operating a public vegan community he saw no benefits to keeping it up and shut it down.
What the fuck are you talking about? When did this happen, do you have a link? This is bonkers.
What others?
I sort of hesitate to feed into made-up-from-whole-cloth Lemmy drama, which this definitely seems to be, but I’m giving you enough benefit of the doubt to at least ask for reasons for why you’re saying this stuff.
I’ve talked to hamid outside of lemmy. I’m just sharing what happened as best as I can recall from a perspective that’s not Sunshine’s, since she’s already all over this thread and she was a factor in him deciding to shut it down.
Why do you think Sunshine and Beaver are the same person?
I didn’t save them so I can’t recall specifics, but I’ve seen receipts. Sorry my info is kinda spotty, since I did ECT my memory isn’t the best.
What a perfectly normal and convincing answer lol
I don’t know what you want from me? Sorry I got treatment for depression? Believe me or don’t, I don’t really care, but that’s why he closed the server if you’re curious.
I was under the impression that he passed along the administration to the server to someone else, I guess he kept the keys to the server after all.
In most of the world as it should be, the process is:
In toomanypancakes-world, apparently, it is:
I’m not asking you to apologize for seeking treatment. I’m asking you to back up the accusations you made. That’s a fair thing to ask you to do, and sidestepping into whining about how I’m oppressing your issues because I am asking for it is bullshit.
Okay, have fun.
They’re not really engaging in good faith here…

I know beaver is one of her alts, but I can’t be certain on any others.
Beaver, subshine, aqua, and others are all the same person.
She moderated !vegan@lemmy.world for a while with myself and others. She caused endless drama and became increasingly derranged. After we lost interest in light of the lemmy.world admins anti vegan and antiscientific stance and handed over the community she kept an alt with mod powers. She then used the powers weeks later to cause problems for the new mod.
On vtc she became increasingly derranged and harassy. Appears fixated on Hamid, and constantly posts shit to those dumb harassment/drama communities. Like every little thing Hamid said. It was dumb as fuck, I don’t agree with Hamid on some things but he was just running a chill instance for vegans to enjoy each other’s company.
Thank you for your input
What exactly are you talking about? Not that cat food thing, right?
The admin banned a user who was calmly linking scientific papers and giving gentle explanations to a user belligerently claiming it was impossible yes.
A simple “yes” would have been enough. But thanks. Your answer shows me who the crazy people are in this whole thing.
The admin literally admitted he did the wrong thing, you just want to hate vegans.

VTC was always federated with the other servers.
