Quick and dirty 😝

Why are people so upset about Beehaw being quite exclusionary?

When I first learned about the Fediverse part of the appeal was that some instances would be open, some would be more exclusive, and that was part of the appeal. Don't like how open/exclusionary one is? Then leave and go to a different one.

Defederation is a feature of the Fediverse, and using it isn't some big crime.

Defederation was meant as a last measure to block instances like gab.ai or truth social. Not to block content the Moderators may not like. At the end it should be the users choice what content they enjoy. Large instances blocking each other betrays the whole idea, the dream that we can all communicate. This is, at its core, Gmail blocking Outlook users to send mails to Gmail users because Outlook allows X, Y and Z and its just insanity.

Where PeerTube?

and PixelFed, Pleroma, Akkoma, Miskey, Calckey, Goto Social, OwnCast, Funkwhale, Mobilizon, Bookwyrm, Friendica, WriteFreely, and probably a bunch more.
Hey, it was quick and dirty 🤷.

Plus 99% of them don't allow you to open an ccount, so... f them.

Lemmy and beehaw are the same software, different servers.

That's the joke. They defederate from everyone, thus effectively making it their own platform.

Beehaw is just a lemmy instance. I'd replacde it with pixelfed

Whooosssh, beehaw being there is the joke. They see themselves as better than other Lemmy instances and have defederated some other large instances
- Except isn't the truth that they experienced harassment from other open-registration instances and in lack of better moderation tools chose to defederate for the time being?
- We need a r/whoooosh on lemmy

There’s so many things wrong with the way beehaw is run that I don’t even know where to start.

They basically run it as a forum... with ActivityPub.
- A CCP administrated forum! Taking inspiration straight from spez
Give me one? Beehaw is one of my favourite instances short of lemmy.ca.
- They defederated with multiple large lemmy instances (lemmy.world and another I don’t remember). They also did this in an asymmetric way making themselves an island whose content gets sent out into the fediverse but who doesn’t listen to updates for the content that gets sent out.
  
  If I comment on a beehaw post as a lemmy.world user, my comment will only live on lemmy.world and not the rest of the fediverse because of what beehaw did
