      Beehaw’s degeneration is actually temporary. They said they would like to refederate with major instances when there’s better mod tools available. The problem is they’re only 4 admins and don’t really have the capability to moderate that well right now.

        yeah, that’s what i’ve read. They’re protecting their people, and that’s an admirable thing. Wonder where cross instances admin tools are on the roadmap.

        In any case our equivalent federated communities are coming up to strength now and we’re starting to get decent levels of interactions without them.

          As others have mentioned their mod team is pretty small. In addition their motivation is to cultivate a safe space which is hard to do when other more permissive instances are federated with them.

            'Tis the reason why they should not consider refederating. Having their own sets of accounts and some strict and underwhelmed modding is sufficient for their purpose of cultivating their safe space. Maybe others won’t agree with their methods, but their purpose demands these methods in their space

      Beehaw did the opposite. If you are from reddit, you are not the pink people. You are the grey ones. Beehaw said no before the fourth panel happened.

        Hey! There’s no way for an individual to defederate without running their own instance. I think my first comment was asking how I could remove beehaw

        There are multiple types of people coming from Reddit. I’m here looking for more critical discussion. Beehaw gives me cult vibes.

          And I think you are the kind of person they defederated from so everything works for everyone.
