https://beehaw.org/post/567170 Presumably the 196 connection is that we are one of the larger communities to migrate from Reddit and thus a large part of this user explosion, but I don’t see 196 users being particularly problematic.
Having 80% of the posts on the home page from 196 is definitely problematic. 196 users really should touch grass and post less
If I’m on neither of the affected instances, and I’m subscribed to resources in both sides of the defederation, am I affected?
no, everyone without a beehaw account is safe thankfully, you can still sub to beehaw communities, not sure if you can comment there though
