Okay, it's actually 18955 at the time of this post. I'm looking at https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/list and lemmy.world has already passed beehaw.org by a large margin for second place.

Can't wait for this place to start filling out!

UPDATE: 5 minutes after the post, it's now 19061. Officially more than 19000!

Beehaw doesn't have the right attitude for a federated environment. They are having problems moderating and dealing with the sudden jump in traffic, so they cut off the largest server. What they should have done is get more help.

They are breaking lemmy because they are self centered. They only care about beehaw. They don't care about all of lemmy.

I agree that it's not the right attitude, I don't agree that they're breaking anything.

Whena person posts to *anything*@beehaw.org and never ever gets a reply, and sees other posts getting replies, are they going to stick with lemmy? No, they are going to go back to reddit. To me, that's breaking the platform.
