      …go on…? And…?

      And because this instance had open registration, it quickly became one of the biggest instances. Trolls were using the open registration + federation to harass their community. Because there are a lack of mod tools and the fact they only have 4 mods, they couldn’t keep up. In order to keep the community they wanted in tact, they decided to temporarily defederate until they’re better equipped to handle it.

        They had a safe space they wanted to keep. That’s 100% on them. Ain’t nothing really wrong with it.

        It’s only a big deal right now because the user base is small and they were a top 5 instance. Give it a while and they’ll be nothing in the fediverse.

        They say it’s temporary but it’s not. As things grow they will defederate more instances and eventually they’ll be a tiny slice. Again, that’s on them. They have a space they want and want to heavily curate. That’s the beauty of the fediverse.

          I love how folks on this thread are so sure beehaw’s lying about that - despite the supposed amenable chat they and sh.itjust.works admins had about the situation. You guys are reeeaaally butthurt about the defed even though it wasn’t personal

                One year sounds good.

                I hope either one of will remember this June 17 2024. Send me a message.

                I estimate a 6 pack to be $12.

                It is possible to save posts and comments, you can then go to your profile and see them under «Saved».

                On another note, I also do not understand why everyone thinks it’s a permanent decision when it has clearly been explained before why it was done and what will be done in the future. It is also quite weird how the users that are most mad about it are those that don’t even use beehaw.

      That’s kind of an oversimplification. The de-federated because they only have four mods and didn’t have the ability to effectively moderate all the users from large instances with no vetting process.

        on top of that, they were getting some pretty heinous abuse from a couple of users on the open-registration instances
