Most ot the users here still have Facebook/Instagram accounts they use daily. They like to talk up the fediverse but also post minion memes to their grandma. It’s kinda sad, but it is what it is, and that’s why you see so many Meta defenders.

That’s not why sh.itjust.works was defederated from Beehaw. It was defederated for having open signups resulting in moderation issues and botting. This thread is an affirmation that it was a good call since they now have toxic users creating toxic communities which is part of the reason for defederation.

You’re creating a problem that doesn’t exist to get mad at it.

I learned a new word today! Thank you.

This is a Beehaw community. I’m referring to Beehaw.

OVER THE LINE!

The dude abides… having the_donald on his instance! ba-dum-tiss

Says more about admins honestly. Sh.itjust.works is going to become a sh.it.hole.

Nah they understood it perfectly. The response still works.

“Just let the nazis congregate… it could turn out ok!”

Yep which is why I’m happy I don’t have to deal with political extremist communities like The_Donald that attracts people who troll with bigoted awful bullshit in every thread possible no matter the community.

Beehaw already defederated from sh.itjust.works and lemmy.world due to bots/trolls/open signups (all related). This topic was simply an affirmation the admins did the correct thing now these same instances have extremist communities popping up. These moderation issues are part of the reason we defederated.

This is a beehaw thread on the beehaw instance discussing a meta topic. We’re a community with a specific set of standards unlike other instances. It’s irrelevant to you, so I’m not sure why you’re interacting with it. No one is shoving anything down your throat; you’re choosing to come in here and stomp your feet around for no reason. If you want to ever be taken seriously I suggest you stop saying “shoving X down my throat” because at this point it’s a meme.

The world is in a horrific state right now. I am trying to escape from it too, and that’s why I am glad we’ve defederated from communities where there are racist bigoted trolls. I appreciate the admins of Beehaw not allowing the spillover. If you don’t care about that there are other instances like Lemmy.world that aren’t defederated/don’t have the same community policies as Beehaw.

Eh It’s typically privilege.

Oh to have the privilege to not care about politics. I wish I was able to live like that. It must be really nice.

If you’re on iOS check out this amazing Pixelfed client. It’s beautiful and minimal. I adore it. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/vernissage-for-pixelfed/id1663543216

Too many of you still have meta accounts, quest headsets, and sympathy for a company that can’t/shouldn’t be trusted with anything. They’re the reason for Trump being elected, the erosion of human rights, and many other atrocities on top of being a privacy nightmare. I don’t want them anywhere near the fediverse.

This is why I love Beehaw.

It sure was purdy though.

Loved that era of Apple.
