Interesting bit of news for the threadiverse. All three of these are fairly large lemmy instances

    This simply solidifies my opinion that I’ve had all along that Beehaw is a trash instance full of sensitive censor-happy ninnies and I hope they all resolve the issues they are having to eventually be finally free from trolls and assholes in their humble & beautiful walled-garden paradise echo chamber. All the best for them.

      Isn’t the whole point of the fediverse that you get to create and craft your experience for your community? There’s a really good reason defederating is a feature. I don’t get it, Beehaw decides to use the features of federation so now we: firstly become tribalistic (them vs us), and secondly decide to get angry? Like it or not, this is what you signed up for when you wanted federation.

      I don’t see the point of getting angry like this, and really don’t see how this negativity being conducive to a thriving community. Some new people are going to explore fediverse, see tribalistic mudslinging among instances, and say “not for me.”

      I’d say respect their decision and move on, if it’s not for you it’s not for you.

        Yeah, they’re saying “look, we only have four mods, have a highly targeted type of community we are trying to build, and have had to disproportionately moderate users from these instances” which seems reasonable on it’s face.

        That’s kind of the beauty of Lemmy/Kbin right? You can spin up an instance with whatever rules you want. I think people are reacting to the fact that during the Reddit exodus Beehaw kind of looked like a “default” general instance, including me.

        But that’s a misreading on our part, not them going back on that.
