Hey, it was quick and dirty π€·.
Plus 99% of them don't allow you to open an ccount, so... f them.
You don't need to open an account. You can follow PeerTube channels from Lemmy.
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.
I agree. We should be able to federate and defederate who and when we want. If you really can't find any sever that fits your needs, there's always personal instances and starting your own server.
Thereβs so many things wrong with the way beehaw is run that I donβt even know where to start.
They basically run it as a forum... with ActivityPub.
A CCP administrated forum! Taking inspiration straight from spez
It's funny actually... Lemmy being developed by tankies, but beehaw taking the defederation approach π.
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 donβt remember). They also did this in an asymmetric way making themselves an island whose content gets sent out into the fediverse but who doesnβt 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
Well yeah, but that was because of an influx of spam and not because beehaw admins have anything against lemmyworld. Afaik they are currently working out with lemmyworld's admin how to solve this situation and refederate.
Yea its pretty much the same with our instance. They defederated from us but our admins and their admins are chill and want to eventually refederate.
At this point, I don't even care, I unsubscribed from all beehaw communities.
Yeah, but who's fault was it that beehaw got swarmed with users. Everyone on beehaw that also had reddit accounts wrote "come over to Lemmy, sign up on beehaw π"... why would I even suggest that if it doesn't matter on which instance users signed up, they can all still see the same content posted on the fediverse. Unless you defederate that is, then yeah... but that just means that they were planning on running it like a forum and defederate from the start, then just use the influx as an excuse.
LOL π€£
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?
Thatβs what they said but there wasnβt much harassment, mainly they were preempting this.
How do you know there wasn't much harassment?
Mod logs
The moderation activity has increased exponentially the last few weeks, what do you mean specifically?
You can find this information for yourself by searching Lemmy. Canβt be arsed with this back and forth when the information is freely available, the mod logs prior to the defederation shows no mass user ban on their instance. Which is what you would expect to see to justify the defederation. They also said they were defederating because of the fact Lemmy.world and sh.itjustworks didnt require email verification on sign up.
Way to kill a joke.
Good day to you, adieu
Beehaw defederate almost 400 other instances, do they immediately defed if one or two users harass them?
At some point they stopped playing whack-a-mole and imported some blocklist for Mastodon
What in the AF π.
Why not just run a forum, why choose Lemmy...
I bet they were waiting to fill with users after the migration and just close shop...

My thoughts as well.. I mean, come on, how much harrasement can you get on a platform that has just begun filling with users and barely has 10K users... we'd have to all be in on it, like "hey, everyone, let's fuck with beehaw, he he he π".
We need a r/whoooosh on lemmy
They don't actually, do they?
No, it's just an instance, but defederated from some of the largest instances, thus, the joke, they being their own platform.
What's ActivityPub?
It's a protocol that fediverse platforms, such as Lemmy, KBin, Mastodon and PeerTube use. Basically, it's how all of the different instances and platforms find one another in the fediverse, how they federate.
Ooh awesome thank you!
Lemmy and beehaw are the same software, different servers.
That's the joke. They defederate from everyone, thus effectively making it their own platform.
