It seems unrealistic that a team of 4 people are going to be able to screen the potential flood of new users.

I can understand the need to be profitable especially as capital has been more and more restricted. I think the decision to price the APIs such that the third party apps have to call it quits is going to end up hurting them though. This reddit migration is a self imposed wound and has driven people to federated alternatives.

At least speaking for myself, I'm going to try to avoid any Reddit clone that doesn't federate with other platforms. The idea of centralizing everything strikes me as defeating the purpose of moving away from reddit.

Wait, are both Lemmy world and Beehaw defederating? I thought it was just beehaw. If Lemmy world defederates, wouldn't that mean it will no longer see other federated platforms content. That kind of defeats the purpose of the reddit migration in my opinion.

 

I noticed that when I attempt to subscribe to beehaw subs, it seems to be stuck on pending. This has been the case for a couple hours now. Is this expected behavior? I think I read somewhere that beehaw was defederating. Perhaps this is the reason it's not working?
