Great to see all this growth and activity in different lemmy instances!
You're viewing a single thread.
Good. It is important to have different instances to distribute the load though. However, I hope there are not many people joining BeeHaw...
I hope there are not many people joining BeeHaw…
I don't hope that, exactly, I just hope that the people who join understand what they're getting (and, more importantly, what they aren't). I fully support a community with a different goal than most, and their goal seems like a wholesome one. I personally think it's doomed to failure, but I support them giving it a try. They're barely part of the fediverse though.
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.
Why not beehaw? Did something happen?
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.
Whats wrong with beehaw? I got a couple really active, good communities from there in my feed
They block a shit ton of instances, not always for good reasons. Often to maintain an echo chamber.
