That's why I've basically never trusted anything except for the chronological new algorithm. Or every once in a while, after I have finished reading everything from new, I will go to all posts and read from top in past six hours. But that's only after I'm done with my main feed.

Same, this is sad news. I’ll probably end up hosting an instance myself on 1984.is but I wasn’t wanting to deal with the hassle.
I access everything over VPN and access Lemmy primarily through Mlem — I’d forgotten that the “Hot” sorting even existed.
Oh well, what else is new? Better to self-host your own services.
To be fair, I definitely do see where they are coming from and can understand why they are going with SimpleX for chatting instead of matrix. I am slowly using matrix less and less for the exact reasons put out in the forum post and am considering killing my matrix account entirely in favor of SimpleX.
It's been a ride, and thanks for hosting for as long as you had.
I have only been haunting lemmy as a holdover until proper forums get their federation support straightened out. Lemmy inherits the same flaws that other link aggregators suffer from, much like how Mastodon suffers from the inherited design flaws of microblogs.
I tried doing my self ascribed duty to introduce ideas into lemmy that fall outside of the group consensus. But it is as you say, deviating from the accepted lines of thought just gets you disappeared.
