First of I hate Lemmy(I am just disappointed 😔)

Any other instance which allow 16+ user?

Thanks

Not lemmy.one, they are also shutting down shortly after. :(

Fuck it.

I'll plug my home instance of discuss online. We've got a good admin, and I'll likely be moving !cyanideandhappiness@lemm.ee over there (pending discussion in the meta thread)

I have been happy with lemmy.zip

@j4k3@lemmy.world

Why delete it?

You know... the internet has a long tradition of anon the everlasting 18yo. There is not a single 30-40yo here that didn't have a MySpace page in highschool or earlier when these places all had 18+ user agreements. Admin only need plausible deniability, like don't ask don't tell. If you say you're the right age or whatnot, no one is going to dispute that. The key is just to be a decent person, don't make trouble, and don't call direct attention to your age in whatever situation. You probably should turn off porn as that is one of our main concerns and you might see some weird stuff, but let's be real, it ain't our job to tell you what to do, and you know how to find that stuff if you really wanted to anyways. Old people get all paranoid that you'll be vulnerable to some insane edge case, but that is extremely unlikely here. There is no tolerance for real weirdos here and we are so small on Lemmy that one of us will spot anything strange and say something. It can be hard to read between the lines like I am sharing now, but you are more welcome than you realize and the slight effort required is worth it for the tradeoffs in my opinion. Here on Lemmy, you get the closest experience to the internet we – your parent's age – grew up with. You deserve that same freedom. But you do you.

Also, I have been banned on Lemmy.world from lemm.ee for being a minor.

Hi, neighbour!! I'm very happy in Lemmy.zip too

Because I didn't know the context of the cross post or notice it until after writing... I'm super sleep deprived due to my broken neck and back in 2014 flaring up because of wet weather in SoCal. I'm like one foot in the world and one foot out right now. It is not personal that I removed it, and is still just as valid if it was you that posted in the first place. I was just too tired/lazy to track that down and second guessed myself.

Just did a search on lemmyverse.net:

• !internetisbeautiful@lemm.ee (this is closing)
• !internetisbeautiful@lemmy.world (consolidation towards the largest instance isn't ideal for the fediverse overall)
• !internetisawesome@sh.itjust.works (different name, but very similar focus)
• !internetisbeautiful@lemmy.ml (consolidation towards ml can be politically problematic)
• !internetisbeautiful@hilariouschaos.com (smaller instance, but with active admins)
• !internetbela@bolha.forum (Portuguese)
• !InternetIsBeautiful@lemmit.online (Reddit mirror)
• !iinternetisbeautiful@lemmit.online (Reddit mirror)

My vote would be to consolidate towards !internetisawesome@sh.itjust.works or !internetisbeautiful@hilariouschaos.com.

hilariouschaos is the subject of mass defederation

Ah, that would explain why I can't see it. The instance I'm on have defederated as well.

I guess that just leaves !internetisawesome@sh.itjust.works, unless we want to create a new community.

They don't really defederate form anything

Lemmy.zip is awesome and not widely defederated to or from I think. I wouldn't mind the community recreated there.

What happened?

uh, hi to you too. i forgot i made this comment. as i remember it their lax moderation attracted some unsavoury people.
