    Good. It is important to have different instances to distribute the load though. However, I hope there are not many people joining BeeHaw…

      Looks like beehaw.org is shedding users. They’ve lost about a thousand users since defederating from lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works last week. Maybe a bunch of people weren’t happy with that move.

      As long as people understand the circumstances of that instance I have absolutely no problem with people finding the place they belong.

      I just hope there are not new users who don’t realize they may not be federated with the larger community.

        They block a shit ton of instances, not always for good reasons. Often to maintain an echo chamber.

        Regardless of what happened, beehaw is not for everyone.

        They aim to be a safe haven for people that are afraid to be harassed for who they are. It’s a noble goal IMO but to achieve that, they have to moderate their instance quite heavily.

        If you’re not their target audience, you’ll find it too restrictive.

        They’ve defederated from both lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works. They’re still a good community, but I don’t consider them part of the fediverse at this point.

        They defederated with the some of the largest instances that have open registration due to the influx of people causing issues in their own communities and the lack of mod tools to address the issue. People are still pissy about it despite beehaw admins stating they will lift the defederation once lemmy mod tools improve…

          They kept saying that they need more moderation tools. Does anyone know what they wanted that Lemmy doesn’t already offer?

            Where did I say it was unsafe? I was pointing out the dishonesty people have been showing in regards to discussing the reason why beehaw chose to defederate.

              Beehaw did imply that, the communication with Ruud was poor, and their “moderation” excuse is simply them acting in bad faith and you seem to agree with them.

                They might have implied as such (I don’t personally think they did, but such an observation is objective.), but I myself didn’t in the post above, and to say I did is dishonest. For the record, I believe they did what they had to do with the limited options they currently have. And I did not like it. Hence why I made an account on here as well. It’s not a fascist regime, and I was pointing out the fact that the people acting like it is are being ridiculous. I directly witnessed the reasons why they defederated and quite ironically, an immense rise of interactions escalating precisely like this causing issues in their own communities and limited staffing to address such (especially towards the vulnerable minority communities beehaw wants to protect in ways reddit did not) in a short amount of time is quite exactly why they chose to defederate. Have a lovely day.

                  I don’t think it helps your argument when you’re the same one qualifying those who, rightfully, think that Beehaw’s move is a dick move, as people being:

                  dishonest

                  and

                  still pissy about it

                    People are being pissy about it for dishonest reasons is what I meant, if that clarification helps.
