chore: set default instance to lemmy.zip, remove lemm.ee
Thank you for all your work!
Still waitin for lemmy.7z or lemmy.tar
pineapplelover@lemm.ee you can only access by entering a semantically correct invocation of tar as run on a POSIX box from 1978.

Congrats to @Demigodrick@lemmy.zip, seems like the transparency and the great monthly reports (https://lemmy.zip/post/39959863) paid back!
Wow, that's amazing 🥲
You deserve it, one of the best instances [and admins] by far.
Bit shit for UK users though since lemmy.zip is blocked for them. Not exactly going to encourage new users from here.
Lemmy.zip is blocked on a national level for the UK?
It’s not lemmy.zip that’s blocked in the UK, they (lemmy.zip) block every visitor from the UK as they don’t want to get in trouble for violating the UK’s Online Safety Act.
that is okay feddit.uk is blocked by my default blocklist on the router. I've started to add it to the white list a few times but no I think I'll let fate sort it out.
They should direct their concerns to the source of the issue - the ones that put UK in this predicament.
Realistically that is never going to happen. The biggest issue the fediverse has is onboarding. People just looking to try out a reddit alternative aren't going to bother emailing their fucking MP just because the default settings of an app won't let them sign up. They'll just give up and go elsewhere.
If we want to encourage growth, adding additional barriers isn't the way to do it.
It would be nice if it wasn't onto the zip domain.
I'd always be terrified to get a surprise zip bomb auto downloading
Which instance would you use instead of lemmy.zip?

Lemmy.world is too big
sh.itjust.works names contains "shit", which can deter users
lemmy.ca is Canadian-centric
feddit.org, is German-centric, but technically English speaking too
dbzer0 is topic focused
programming.dev is topic-centric
blahaj is queer-focused
discuss.tchncs.de has a difficult name
lemmy.sdf.org does not defederate anyone
beehaw defederates LW and SJW
infosec.pub is topic-centric
aussie.zone is country-centric
midwest.social is region-centric

There's a reason lemm.ee was the previous default instance.
dbzer0 federates hexbear
lemm.ee and lemmy.zip also federate hexbear.
Ok, but why did they do this and why is it good?
Lemm.ee is shutting down at the end of the month.
Lemm.ee is shutting down, so they had to change. Lemmy.zip is the best choice
