Lemmings

Except not really. I created a new account on lemmy.world once I saw the notice they were defederating. I'm sure I won't be the only one to do that. I liked what they were trying to do over at beehaw but I don't like being cut off from 2 of the biggest instances.

At least with jerboa you can turn off NSFW so you don't need to see it. Alternatively just stick to local or subscribed and you don't have to worry about seeing anything.

No it wasn't you. There were a couple of accounts that went in and spammed a whole bunch of bigoted posts.

I totally left beehaw once I saw the post. I didn't want to be stuck only seeing what I was told I could.

You should make a correction because your original post isn't true

This would be preferable. There are some communities I follow over there I'd like to still have access too.

I have one of those for my dog too. It's much better than the cone of shame.

I actually just created a new account on lemmy.world because of what beehaw did.

They are wanting to create an instance of inclusion that doesn't risk people feeling like they will be attacked. They are blocking instances where they are noticing "hate" coming from. They are doing it so they don't have to mod posts coming in to make sure they fit with what they are trying to create.

If lemmy.ml gets big enough I wouldn't be surprised if beehaw blocks them too. Alternatively what I see happening is that communities will be created here to replace the ones that were on beehaw. I see more people joining an instance that isn't so restrictive which will make the communities bigger than the ones on beehaw

Pee in the water fountain

I created a new account just now on lemmy.world about 10 minutes ago once I saw the announcement. I get what they are trying to do over there but I think defederating is a little much. I am upset about loosing out on some of the communities they have but others will take their places on other instances.

They did not. It was just dumped on everyone earlier today

So I have an account on beehaw and pointed this out earlier to the admins. Got snapped at because how dare I try and say what they will do in the future. I was also told if they were going to defederate from everyone they already would have. Didn't really get a response as to what they would do once people start to trolling from other instances. They don't think it'll be a problem from what I gathered

"I too am a strongly leftwing-progressive person, but I don't like being in sooper-seekrit clubs for it; I'm more of a slug it out and yell at people kind of person - which is why I'm here rather than there."

I'm the exact same way. It's why I created a new account after they made that announcement

I know. It's not hard to lie your way into their instance if you really wanted to or one that has criteria to join. I really don't think they know what they got themselves into with this decision because you're right, they put a huge target on their backs.

This is a disturbing question

I don't really have this issue. I went through every community yesterday and joined every one I wanted to. I have my feed set to subscribed and new so it's always changing. I really suggest going through the community list.

You have to also remember there aren't the same amount of people on lemmy that are on reddit. It's going to take a minute for communities to grow and post more often.

Take it back!! I can't unsee it!!

Or any of the instances they'll decide to block in the future
