I don’t really care. I don’t visit Reddit anymore and don’t intend to return.

lemmy.world is both more stable (like the server doesn’t go down) and has less political extremists.
I don’t either.
Yeah, the solution is just to leave beehaw though. It takes a few minutes to make a new account on another instance. If they really want to access the beehaw stuff they could join an instance that is still federated with them, that way they could see the beehaw posts and the lemmy.world posts.
It’s probably best just to abandon beehaw entirely though and use alternative communities in the Fediverse.
Yeah, I suspect they will move to a whitelist the moment that functionality becomes available. Or just defederate entirely from everything and become a walled garden.
Yeah, it seems some are happy to burn down the whole thing if it means they can rule over the ashes.
But admin approval just slows it down right? Like how is the admin going to know you aren’t a bad actor?
It also really slows down the sign-up process which will cripple the growth of the Fediverse.
But surely we hope that this level of users is permanent? I think it’ll be in place until lemmy has better moderation tools, which could be quite some time. It has the benefit that it is Open Source though so anyone can help.
They said they couldn’t deal with the level of abuse and spam that came from lemmy.world users. They have a much more restrictive content policy and smaller, centralised moderation team than most other instances which exacerbated the problem.
I guess that’s an improvement. I mean their users seem to like the set-up. I just don’t like not being able to create communities and having such a small group of users in control.
It just seems ripe for abuse like we saw in Reddit.
But that’s the wonder of the Fediverse, each user can pick their instance.
Yeah, the whole idea of Reddit was just bad.
Aside from the API issues it had serious problems in the past with Admin overreach and like 90% of the most popular subreddits being controlled by a small cabal (some of whom were even corrupt, using their position for monetary gain).
The decentralised nature of the Fediverse is just a superior model (for the actual users, not for monetising the platform).
Yeah, the level of entitlement is insane.
Yeah, but the problem is at the moment you might reply to their posts/comments in other instances without realising they aren’t going to see your response?
It just seems a really complex UX for little gain.
100% agree.
All of the political extremist and hate speech instances should be defederated. And Beehaw just because them defederating us creates a really bad user experience if we don’t defederate them as you could respond to comments/posts by beehaw users on other instances and not realise they won’t even see your replies.
This makes it super confusing as to whether or not someone will actually be able to interact with your post/comment. You’d have to constantly check the user you are replying to is not @beehaw.org
Perhaps lemmy.world should defederate from beehaw.org? That would solve this UX problem?
Should lemmy.world defederate from beehaw.org so we don’t even see their posts/comments? It seems a bad user experience to have posts/comments appear that we can’t properly interact with.
I can understand wanting to have a well-moderated community.
What I don’t understand is how they expect to do that with a moderation team of just 4 people.
I guess now people will just leave Beehaw, its communities that were popular here will be replaced by others in the Fediverse and life will go on. The Fediverse is built to be resilient to such changes.
Yeah, it’s not really a coherent worldview. I don’t entirely agree with libertarianism but at least it’s much more coherent. They aren’t like all for freedom, but then against gay rights or whatever.
I mean it’s also /r/conservative not /r/libertarian or whatever. So I wouldn’t necessarily expect them to hold those libertarian values in any case.
If you had an account and then deleted it, you will get this page until you delete you beehaw cookies. It tries to automatically log you in on your old account and then fails with this error as it was deleted.
I’m not sure if this is unique to beehaw or across all Lemmy instances.
