Have a look, it’s quite good!

If you want to comment but your instance is defederated (e.g. Lemmyworld or sh.itjust.works), you might consider creating an alt on another instance.

I hope they’ll refederate sh.itjust.works soon.

    I see where they come from, to be honest. Due to the very high number of people on LW, you have more toxic users (even if it’s only 1% of the population who are toxic, as LW monthly active users is 19k Vs 1,7k on Beehaw, that’s 10 times more toxic users).

    Selecting people based on their willingness to have an alt elsewhere seems to be the filter they chose.

    I can also understand why they see centralisations of so many users on LW as a bad thing (I’m not the biggest fan of that either).

      I do get it to an extent. I think the most frustrating part about it for me was that Beehaw was like the second biggest instance for some time. I enjoyed participating in there for a while until they suddenly effectively “banned” me and tons of others from communicating there without any sort of warning or anything.

      If they had always been defederated from us or if they had always been a smaller instance or if they had made some announcements or literally any sort of action before going nuclear, I wouldn’t have been as frustrated and soured by them.

        I see. Hopefully after a while you might give it another try, they are still nice!
