EDIT: we just crossed 30K ๐Ÿฅณ


We are now at 28.5K users (see https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/list). The top 10 instances also got a decent boost in user count. With the exception of beehaw.org which defederated, the Fediverse is thriving ๐Ÿ”ฅ

Beehaw controls their sign-ups. What they don't like are people they have not vetted commenting on posts in their communities. They don't like it because some people were 'trolling and spamming' and they can't keep up with the moderation.

They have 4 admin ls trying to do everything and they are not going to open up until they get moderation tools that make it possible to run a large site with just those 4 people.

Basically, they don't have a philosophy of running a server that is compatible with being in a federated environment.

They are not intended to be a large site, at all.

Whether that's compatible with federation or not, I don't know, but I honestly couldn't care less and I don't get why some people still think it's a big deal.

There were 2 big communities of value on their server but there are already growing alternatives elsewhere, so everything is fine in my book, that's the beauty of the fediverse IMO.

It is only a big deal if new people.sign up there, get a poor impression of what lemmy is, and never try any other lemmy experience again.

That is what the big deal is. People want lemmy to be successful and to grow into a network of servers with good participation.

I dont care what beehaw does, I just feel they should not be listed on discovery sites while they are not sanely federated.

You're right, it's a problem for new users unfortunately, beehaw should be quite more explicit on their server descriptions and rules.

Not sure about delisting them, that would be detrimental to those actually looking for a place like that, but they surely shouldn't recommend people to go there as a general instance, it's not just about federation, even if they were federated, that place is not for everyone.
