some of the first posts i see on kbin from other instances are about a major defederation lol. not ideal since this is happening when the fediverse is growing... but I suppose this is the intent behind the fediverse.
this comment about it is great: https://kbin.social/m/[email protected]/t/22433/Beehaw-defederated-us#entry-comment-90015
there will be growing pains.
Nah, don't worry about it, beehaw's always been shit
Their stance on some things is maybe a bit too drastic for some, but they already have one of the largest communities for certain topics like gaming (at least last I checked), so we may lose out on the content that would help people stay long-term, which is sad.
People should stop looking at where the biggest community is. Are you an actor or a spectator? Start creating content in your own instance. This is what killed reddit, too much spectators, all sharing the same on-liner jokes. Do you have an interesting take about a videogame? Then share it. Write things down.
That is an ideal take, however what i think make large community and a upvote or downvote system like reddit interesting is that with volume, good idea and disccusion is more likely to occurs. why did we go to forum anyway. i think it is to find different opinion and interesting disccusion and what other think of our opinion. If we just want to share our own opinion or take on something, a blog would do better.
Good discussions don't occur on huge subreddits.
no discussions occur on huge subreddits.
Discussions involve back-and-forths, and require the ability to actually focus on another person. There's no focusing when there are 20,009 comments and everyone is just mindlessly scrolling past the top 200 before moving to another post.
I did that on beehaw but got banned lol. I commented about my experience with someone calling me a british cigarette, but then got banned because I said it (even though it was on topic and the thread was asking about lgbtq experiences)
beehaw has banned 387 instances so far

We are next, just by the numbers already on kbin.
wouldn't surprise me.
Take it up with beehaw. There's no convincing them. The beehaw admins have always been extremely toxic and corrupt.
"They have rules I don't want to follow! That's corruption!"
You realize that says way more about you than them, right?
What's with you defending everything bit of criticism towards beehaw?
Regardless, no, Beehaw used to have a "No sources" rule that was established after users kept questioning the moderators there. I mean shit, their modlog is public, you can just look it up yourself.
If you are a subreddit drama enjoyer this exact sort of thing only adds more appeal to the fediverse.
