I’m out of the loop, what happened?!
Aren’t they de-federating (fuck the English language) over the_Donald joining the instance?
It was banned as soon as the admin realized it even existed lmao. There was just one dude posting there and it was terrible quality so no one even cared.
But everyone made such a fuss that the dude is practically now the entire branch of Nazism of Lemmy or something according to the proponents of defederation.
One person created the_donald over there and people are getting butthurt.
There’s no real drama. Beehaw is defederating from some instances with shitty communities. That’s all.
I don’t understand people who want this to be another reddit. Reddit was awful lmao
IMHO, the big problem is that defederating causes a bunch of problems when you’re cutting ties with an instance that is 99.9% good actors.
Sure, you cut out the trolls, but you also totally fuck up the user experience for the vast majority of well intentioned people.
Example, I’m on Lemmy.world, and my wife is on beehaw. We often both comment to a Lemmy.ml community, and neither of us can see each others comments even though Lemmy.ml is neutral ground.
