Thereβs so many things wrong with the way beehaw is run that I donβt even know where to start.
They basically run it as a forum... with ActivityPub.
A CCP administrated forum! Taking inspiration straight from spez
It's funny actually... Lemmy being developed by tankies, but beehaw taking the defederation approach π.
Yes, socialist administration taking notes from hypercapalatist info merchants.
They defederated with multiple large lemmy instances (lemmy.world and another I donβt remember). They also did this in an asymmetric way making themselves an island whose content gets sent out into the fediverse but who doesnβt listen to updates for the content that gets sent out.
If I comment on a beehaw post as a lemmy.world user, my comment will only live on lemmy.world and not the rest of the fediverse because of what beehaw did
Iβm going to unsubscribe from my beehaw communities then. I was wondering why I was still getting updates from them. Itβs like being shadow banned.
Well yeah, but that was because of an influx of spam and not because beehaw admins have anything against lemmyworld. Afaik they are currently working out with lemmyworld's admin how to solve this situation and refederate.
Yea its pretty much the same with our instance. They defederated from us but our admins and their admins are chill and want to eventually refederate.
At this point, I don't even care, I unsubscribed from all beehaw communities.
Smart to do until there's a re-federation, you would only see the local content there.
Yeah, but who's fault was it that beehaw got swarmed with users. Everyone on beehaw that also had reddit accounts wrote "come over to Lemmy, sign up on beehaw π"... why would I even suggest that if it doesn't matter on which instance users signed up, they can all still see the same content posted on the fediverse. Unless you defederate that is, then yeah... but that just means that they were planning on running it like a forum and defederate from the start, then just use the influx as an excuse.
