So, I got curious and set my feed to all. Wow, there a lot of arguments about defederation due to the Beehaw decision. Many Many people positing on "the death of Reddit" and the refugee crisis. I get some of the concerns about moderation and ideology but the amount of navelgazing is unreal. Ill just stick to local for a bit until things settle down.

So, how are you finding the big, wide fediverse outside of our pleasant little pocket? With all of the thinkpieces being posted about how Lemmy is never going to work, I wanted to see some fresh takes from the good folk at midwest.social.

From what I see, it is about their recent decision to defederate from two other big Lemmy instances (sh.itjust.works and lemmy.world), because these instances (where the registration is open, contrary to beehaw) bring a lot of trolls and moderation burden for Beehaw admins. They had a chat with sh.itjust.works admin staff and both are in agreement that until there are better mod tools, there's not much more that can be done for now.

The difference language between the sh.itjust.works admin and their user's comments is kinda crazy. There were so many bad takes saying "this will destroy the lemmy-verse". Like, no it won't. The community will survive.
